Written with the finesse of an Angelou and the rage of a Giovanni this passionate, revisionist, historical, scholarship will challenge its readers to ask new questions about the nature, role, rise and decline of the Black Revolt of the 1960s. Hettie V. Williams has raised the bar in her narrative and deconstruction of the impact of major voices and organizations involved in the African American quest for freedom, justice, and equality. The advocates for Civil Rights and Black Power are examined thoroughly here. The author is not only scholarly in her approach to narrating the story, but candid and provocative; her voice is a timely and important contribution to the study of American history, Black activism, and Black intellectual thought.
