Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. New York. 1993. Franklin Watts. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0531110346. 192 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Tom Stvan. keywords: African American Speeches Anthology. DESCRIPTION-The great oral tradition of African Americans, culminating in Martin Luther King, Jr. 's I Have a Dream speech, began in Africa, survived the brutal years of slavery and the bitter years of racial segregation, and continues to flourish in today's troubled times. In broadsides, letters, articles, and especially in speeches, the passion and intellectual brilliance of a long line of articulate, dedicated persuasive women and men penetrate, loudly and clearly, the oppression, stereotypes, persecution, and inequities peculiar to America. Among the African Americans whose speeches, in whole or in part, are included in this collection are former and fugitive slaves, ministers, businessmen, a physician, a senator and a congresswoman, a reporter, a novelist and playwright, political organizers, and radicals. The names may be both familiar and unfamiliar: fugitive slave J. W. Loguen, civil rights champion Sojourner Truth, radical separatist Marcus Garvey, Black Muslim martyr Malcolm X, scholar and ex-representative Barbara Jordan, and black leader Jesse Jackson. Through the power of their words, all have contributed to improvement in conditions of, and attitudes-toward, blacks. Reading these speeches will help you better understand African Americans and their history and better appreciate who they are and the struggles they have experienced. For in the America of the 1990s, no one can afford to be ignorant of the history of one of the most important cultural groups in America. Those who remain so, risk being left behind as America grows more diverse, changes its complexion, and moves into the twenty-first century. inventory #18958.
