 All Deliberate Speed: Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v.
Board of Education by Charles J. Ogletree (Books)
(Hardcover) |
 With All Deliberate Speed: The Life of Philip Elman; An Oral History Memoir by Norman I. Silber (Books) (Hardcover) With the Court -- and the country -- bitterly split over school desegregation
and the validity of "separate but equal," Elman's intimate knowledge of the
Court enabled him to develop the concept that became known as "with all
deliberate speed" -- a phrase which unified the divided Court, but which
continues to generate heated public debate to this day. |

In The
Debt, Randall
Robinson argues that African Americans deserve reparations for the
present-day racism that stems from 246 years of slavery. In an interview
with Amazon.com's Eugene Holley Jr., he talks about precedents for such a
controversial move and why it would help ease racial tensions in the
U.S.

 African
Voices of the Atlantic Slave Trade: Beyond the Silence and the Shame ~
Anne C. Bailey (Author) (Paperback - Feb
1, 2006) Other Edition(s):
Hardcover
~ Focusing on the stories passed down from generation to generation among the
Anlo Ewe community in
southern
Ghana—an area once known as
the
Slave Coast—Spelman
College historian
Bailey offers a noteworthy, carefully
researched contribution to the study of the
African slave trade. Few
accounts in the copious literature have adequately addressed the African
viewpoint, says
Bailey, and the oral histories she
offers are designed to correct that silence. Examples include "the incident at
Atorkor": sometime in the 1850s, a breakdown in the working (though unequal)
relationship between white slave traders and a coastal African chief—the chief's
kin were taken along with inland, "approved" captives—heralded a new phase in
the slave trade, one in which African slave traders became nearly as vulnerable
as their African captives. In compact chapters,
Bailey considers the political and
economic impact of the slave trade on the
West African region; West
and
Central Africa's class-based
practices of domestic slavery; and the issue of European, American and African
agency in the slave trade. Though dense prose makes this a better choice for the
scholar than the lay reader,
Bailey brings unheard historical voices
to the fore. |

Hardcover (Large Print) I believe it is time for America to meet the men
of the 761st, common men who grew to become heroes, black men who fought for
a country that often hated them, stalwart men who overcame social injustice
to become men of colorblind valor. This first-of-its-kind book will…help
them take their place as member of the greatest generation. —Kareem
