• Summary:"Interconnected stories present a picture of racial inequality in America, showing systemic discrimination in all areas of society and showing the unbroken line of Black resistance to this inequality."-- Provided by publisher
  The true story of racial inequality-- and resistance to it-- is the prologue to our present. Dyson and Favreau deliver a gripping chronicle of the struggles that shaped modern America through the stories of some of the many African American people who dared to fight for a more equal future. Inequality persists-- but there are many paths to resist. -- adapted from jacket
