About this title

Synopsis

A week-by-week account from 1939 to 1945 of efforts to advance the Black rights struggle in face of patriotic appeals to postpone resistance to lynch-mob terror and racist discrimination until afterUS "victory" in World War II.

These struggles—of a piece with rising anti-imperialist battles in Africa, Asia, and the Americas—helped lay the basis for the mass civil rights movement in the postwar decades.

“These articles…tell a little-known story, in which the roots of the explosive civil rights struggles of the 1950s and '60s can be found.” —Research Book News
