T. Thomas Fortune, The Afro-American Agitator

Radical journalist Timothy Thomas Fortune was one of the leading voices of black America from 1880 to 1928. This period for African Americans in particular was marked by the necessity of responding to an escalation of mob violence against them and the erosion of their Constitutional and social rights. This is the first anthology to present the key writings of this seminal figure in American history. Book jacket.
