Synopsis
In 1965 Dudley F. Randall founded the Broadside Press, devoted to publishing, distributing and promoting the works of black poets and writers. In so doing, he became a major player in the civil rights movement. Hundreds of black writers were given an outlet for their work and for their calls for equality and black identity. Though Broadside was established on a minimal budget, Randall's unique skills made the press successful. A veritable who's who of African American poets sought him out, including such writers as Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret Walker, Etheridge Knight, Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, Audre Lorde and Sterling D. Plumpp.

"a richly documented study of an important figure in African American literary and publishing history...should prove of considerable interest to booksellers, collectors, and librarians" -- AB Bookman's Weekly
