Sommario/riassunto |
|
A leading African American Communist, lawyer William L. Patterson (1891-1980) was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the defeat of Jim Crow by virtue of his leadership of the Scottsboro campaign in the 1930's. This watershed biography shows how Patterson helped to advance African American equality by fostering and leveraging international support for the movement. |
