American Congo : the African American freedom struggle in the Delta Cover Image Book Book

American Congo : the African American freedom struggle in the Delta / Nan Elizabeth Woodruff.

Woodruff, Nan Elizabeth, 1949- (Author).

Summary:

Nan Woodruff forces us to rethink the history of the black freedom struggle, so often considered a post-World War II phenomenon. American Congo shows how the freedom fighters of the 1960s would draw on this half-century tradition of protest in the Delta, thus expanding our standard notions of the civil rights movement, and illuminating a neglected but significant slice of the black American experience.
