Let nobody turn us around : voices of resistance, reform, and renewal : an African American anthology
Manning Marable (Editor), Leith Mullings (Editor)
"One of America's prominent historians and a noted feminist bring together the most important political writings and testimonials from African Americans over three centuries. This unique volume captures the struggle and hope persistent in the movement for social justice. The voices of famous activists like Du Bois, Douglass, and Malcolm X, joined by those of laborers, women, and other African American citizens, reveal how the historical record of oppression and resistance coalesced into a national and international movement."--Jacket
