This study seeks to critically examine the field and function of
social stratification, with emphasis on Africana phenomena. Phrased
another way, this edited volume attempts to study and focus on who
gets what and why, with regard to resources and structural
application of support. The John Henrik Clarke query is who made
this arrangement of leadership in America. Moreover, serving as a
reference, this study will assist researchers in contextualizing
and thematically examining the structural and resource allocation
of disparity exhibited toward Africana people. This manuscript of
essays is the first its kind. This study incorporates an
interdisciplinary scope to examine the concept of Africana Social
Stratification in the subject areas of: history, political science,
economics, Africana Studies, and social policy.
In the United States, the fight to secure full civil rights for
African American people has endured for centuries. The movement has
included many voices, among them, working people, charismatic
activists, musicians and artists, the LGBTQIA community, veterans,
suburbanites, and elected officials. Moving from the labor
struggles of the 1930s to the sit-ins and boycotts of midcentury,
and the Black Lives Matter protests of today, this expansive volume
brings together first-person accounts, political documents and
speeches, and historical photographs from each region of the
country. Designed for use in courses and engaging for general
readers, this new compilation is the most diverse, most inclusive,
and most comprehensive resource available for teaching and learning
about the civil rights movement. With chronological and
geographical depth, The New Civil Rights Movement Reader addresses
a range of key topics, including youth activism, regional and local
freedom struggles, voting rights, economic inequality, gender,
sexuality, and culture, and the movement’s global reach.

Labor leader, civil rights activist, outspoken feminist, African
American clergywoman--Reverend Addie Wyatt stood at the confluence
of many rivers of change in twentieth century America. The first
female president of a local chapter of the United Packinghouse
Workers of America, Wyatt worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr.
and Eleanor Roosevelt and appeared as one of Time magazine's Women
of the Year in 1975. Marcia Walker-McWilliams tells the incredible
story of Addie Wyatt and her times. What began for Wyatt as a
journey to overcome poverty became a lifetime commitment to social
justice and the collective struggle against economic, racial, and
gender inequalities. Walker-McWilliams illuminates how Wyatt's own
experiences with hardship and many forms of discrimination drove
her work as an activist and leader. A parallel journey led her to
develop an abiding spiritual faith, one that denied defeatism by
refusing to accept such circumstances as immutable social forces.
