• Sommario/riassunto: A compelling and readable narrative history, How Long?, How Long? ; presents both a rethinking of social movement theory and a controversial thesis: that chroniclers have egregiously neglected the most important leaders of the civil-rights movement, African-American women, in favor of higher-profile African-American men and white women.
