While the history of the non-violent Civil Rights Movement, from
Rosa Parks to Martin Luther King, is one of the great American
stories of the twentieth century, the related Black Power movement
has taken a more complex path through the nation's history. Formed
by a multitude of individuals, the long history of the Black Power
movement stretches before and beyond its political manifestations.
Beginning with the folk-narratives told on the plantation, Black
Power and the American People charts a course through the
iconoclasm of the Harlem Renaissance, the battleground of the
American campus, the struggle and skill of the Negro Leagues, the
drama of the boxing ring, the killing fields of Vietnam and the
cold concrete of the penitentiary, right up to the Black Lives
Matter movement of the present day. Tracing these connected
cultural expressions through time, Black Power and the American
People explores the profound legacy of Black Power from its
earliest roots to its most futuristic manifestations, its long
history in American culture and its profound influence on the
American imagination.
