This fresh and invigorating analysis illuminates the
often-neglected story of early African American civil rights
activism. African American Civil Rights: Early Activism and the
Niagara Movement tells a fascinating story, one that is too
frequently marginalized. Offering the first full-length,
comprehensive sociological analysis of the Niagara Movement, which
existed between 1905 and 1910, the book demonstrates that, although
short-lived, the movement was far from a failure. Rather, it made
the need to annihilate Jim Crow and address the atrocities caused
by slavery publicly visible, creating a foundation for more widely
celebrated mid-20th-century achievements. This unique study focuses
on what author Angela Jones terms black publics, groups of
concerned citizens-men and women, alike-who met to shift public
opinion. The book explores their pivotal role in initiating the
civil rights movement, specifically examining secular
organizations, intellectual circles, the secular black press, black
honor societies and clubs, and prestigious educational networks.
All of these, Jones convincingly demonstrates, were seminal to the
development of civil rights protest in the early 20th century.
