Description
Icons of African American Protest reveals the extraordinary strength, courage, and sacrifice displayed by individuals for the cause of freedom and civil rights. The 24 leaders showcased here cover a broad spectrum of descriptors-vibrant, tame, intense, aggressive, and diffident-they were all, in their time, radicals who strove to eradicate racism and the climate of exclusion.

Reviews:
-"This two-volume set profiles 24 African Americans prominent in the history of civil rights in the United States. Each biography explores the life of the subject over the course of 20 pages or so, placing the person's involvement in civil rights struggles within the context of their own life courses and within the context of the broader sweep of history. Each entry includes a black and white photographic portrait and a guide to further resources." —Reference & Research Book News
-"The essays are well written . . . Recommended." —CHOICE
