For almost four decades, William Sherrill was a critical leader of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and a leading African American intellectual and activist in 1930s and 1940s Detroit. As the first biography of Sherrill, this book examines him as part of a historical tradition from which post-World War II Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism re-emerged.
