Description

The book discusses the pros and cons of the progressive movement for the black community over the past 150 years or more, not just what happened over the past 40 or 50. It explains how various movements, trends in society and institutions progressives influenced and how they affected the black community for their interest not necessarily in the interests of blacks. It was only over the past 40 or 50 that its negative aspects for the black community started to manifest themselves.
