| Description: |
This volume offers a glimpse into the minds of three NAACP leaders who occupied the centre of black thought and action during some of the most troublesome and pivotal times of the civil rights movement. These writings illustrate the roles of three builders in constructing a people's liberation. Though progressive in their time, they may still serve as a vision of the future as race relations enter the 21st century. |
| Synopsis: |
This collection of writings offers a glimpse into the minds of three N.A.A.C.P. leaders who occupied the centre of black thought and action during some of the most troublesome and pivotal times of the civil rights movement. The volume delineates fifty-seven years of the N.A.A.C.P.'s program under the successive direction of James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, and Roy Wilkins. These writings illustrate the vital roles of these three leaders in building a people's liberation, underscoring not only their progressive influence throughout their time in power, but also a vision of the future as race relations enter the 21st Century. Much of the material, notably "The Secretary's Reports to the Board," is published here for the first time, offering an invaluable resource for those seeking a deeper knowledge of the history of race in America |
