African American Views

摘要

Founded in 1909, the NAACP has since been the major civil rights group in the United States, and it's still around. Next year, the organization celebrates its centennial in conjunction with the publication of NAACP: Celebrating 100 Years 1909-2009 in February, Black History Month. Also, at this historic time, with our first African American presidential nominee, there are three books here showcasing Barack Obama. He's seen in campaign photographs, as an essayist, and as profiled by journalist Gwen If ill. Other authors reveal their struggles with racism and drugs; entertainers Quincy Jones and the late James Brown are here, too. In addition, we've included three classics, from Ed Bullins, James Weldon Johnson, and LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka). These titles will play an essential role in enhancing your collections for years to come.
