Rezensionen

- Brian Purnell, Bowdoin College
"This book travels an amazing journey from the days of Jim Crow racism through the unfinished age of Obama, and provides the best synthesis history of the civil rights movement."
-Danielle McGuire, Wayne State University
"In this engaging and inspiring narrative, Steven F. Lawson shows us how African Americans' long struggle for freedom, equality, and human dignity forever altered the arc of human history. Lawson reminds us that freedom is a constant struggle; democracy and justice are hard work; and race and racial politics remain touchstones of the 21st century."
