“Charlayne Hunter-Gault is an eminent Dean of American
journalism, a vital voice whose work chronicled the civil rights
movement and so much of what has transpired since then. My People
is the definitive collection of her reportage and commentary.
Spanning datelines in the American South, South Africa and points
scattered in between, her work constitutes a history of our time as
rendered by the pen of a singular and indispensable black woman
journalist.”-Jelani Cobb From the legendary Emmy Award-winning
journalist, a collection of ground-breaking reportage from across
five decades which vividly chronicles the experience of Black life
in America today. At just nineteen years old, Charlayne
Hunter-Gault made national news after she had mounted a successful
legal challenge that culminated in her admission to the University
of Georgia in January 1961—making her one of the first two Black
students to integrate the institution. As an adult, Charlayne
switched from being the subject of news to covering it, becoming
one of its most recognized and acclaimed interpreters. Over more
than five decades, this dedicated reporter charted a course through
some of the world’s most respected journalistic institutions,
including The New Yorker, NBC, and the New York Times, where she
was often the only Black woman in the newsroom. Throughout her
storied career, Charlayne has chronicled the lives of Black people
in America—shining a light on their experiences and giving a
glimpse into their community as never before. Though she has
covered numerous topics and events, observed as a whole, her work
reveals the evolving issues at the forefront of Black Americans
lives and how many of the same issues continue to persist today. My
People showcases Charlayne’s lifelong commitment to reporting on
Black people in their totality, “in ways that are recognizable to
themselves.” Spanning from the Civil Rights Movement through the
election and inauguration of America’s first Black president and
beyond, this invaluable collection shows the breadth and nuance of
the Black experience through trials, tragedies, and triumphs of
everyday lives.
