About this title

Synopsis

The activities of James Farmer, George Wiley, Floyd McKissick, Wilfred Ussery, and Roy Innis, along with an entire emotion-laden and action-packed era in the American civil rights movement, come to light in this widely acclaimed study of the rise and decline of CORE by two leading authorities in black studies. August Meier and Elliott Rudwick draw on interviews with many key CORE members and on a variety of original manuscripts and published sources as they study the evolution of the Congress on Racial Equality and place it within the context of the civil rights revolution as a whole. A new introduction written for the paperback edition updates the analysis to 1975.
