Born in 1901, Louise Thompson Patterson was a leading and
transformative figure in radical African American politics.
Throughout most of the twentieth century she embodied a dedicated
resistance to racial, economic, and gender exploitation. In this,
the first biography of Patterson, Keith Gilyard tells her
compelling story, from her childhood on the West Coast, where she
suffered isolation and persecution, to her participation in the
Harlem Renaissance and beyond. In the 1930s and 1940s she became
central, along with Paul Robeson, to the labor movement, and later,
in the 1950s, she steered proto-black-feminist activities.
Patterson was also crucial to the efforts in the 1970s to free
political prisoners, most notably Angela Davis. In the 1980s and
1990s she continued to work as a progressive activist and public
intellectual. To read her story is to witness the courage,
sacrifice, vision, and discipline of someone who spent decades
working to achieve justice and liberation for all.
