Description
Whether abolitionists or slave revolt leaders, civil rights activists or educators, newspaper publishers or club officers, African-American activists and social leaders have been at the forefront in the struggle for civil rights, racial equality, social justice, and community preservation. From the fight to end slavery to the push for affirmative action in universities and the workplace, these leaders have defined the key issues of their day and galvanized the energies of their community. Through mutual aid societies fraternal and professional organizations, labor unions, and women's clubs, these men and women have been crucially important in holding the African-American community together. A to Z of African-American Social Leaders and Activists documents the lives and legacies of a representative selection of memorable individuals who have been active leaders in African-American society, from colonial times to the present day.
