The broadest and most comprehensive collection of writings available by an early civil and women’s rights pioneerSeventy-one years before Rosa Parks’s courageous act of resistance; police dragged a young black journalist named Ida B. Wells off a train for refusing to give up her seat. The experience shaped Wells’s career; and—when hate crimes touched her life personally—she mounted what was to become her life’s work: an anti-lynching crusade that captured international attention.This volume covers the entire scope of Wells’s remarkable career; collecting her early writings; articles exposing the horrors of lynching; essays from her travels abroad; and her later journalism. The Light of Truth is both an invaluable resource for study and a testament to Wells’s long career as a civil rights activist.For more than seventy years; Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Newton the man that today's youth does not know about tells how he first met Co-founder of the Black Panther Perty and this book is the closest thing to an autobiography you will find. All I can say is the greatist man that ever lived gives the American people a sense on Awareness that has not been given since Malcolm X.

Inspiring ReadBy EtraycamI have always known about Huey P Newton for as long as I can remember but this text brought to life the struggles of black or poor people's in this country and their and My own experiences in a raw way.It does leave me wondering about Huey and his eventual succumbs to drug addiction. I wonder if he finally lost his spirit due to such demanding responsibilities and activities for the people.Contrary to many of the reviewers; I do not see him as crazed or insane; nor as someone with a low IQ. I see him as a genius who had a rare combination of intelligence and determination coupled with action. A true revolutionary. It is sad so many see him as crazy. In reality he was courageous.And FWIW; Huey mentioned how racists IQ test were in the past. Please research the history of IQ tests and you will see they were originally developed to measure the intellect of wealthier Europeans and so we're biased against other ethnic groups; even eastern Europeans; the Irish; and Italians. IQ tests have been revised to include measurements of different types of intelligence today; but just reading this text should show you the test on Huey was some bull.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
