Description
The story of black emancipation is one of the most dramatic themes of American history, covering racism, murder, poverty and extreme heroism.
Figures such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King are the demigods of the freedom movements, both film and household figures.
This major text explores the African-American experience of the twentieth century with particular reference to six outstanding race leaders.
Their philosophies and strategies for racial advancement are compared and set against the historical framework and constraints within which they functioned. The book also examines the 'grass roots' of black protest movements in America, paying particular attention to the major civil rights organizations as well as black separatist groups such as the Nation of Islam.
