Book Description:
|
Presents the first full-length biography of Charles S. Johnson (1893-1956). Although he called himself a "sidelines activist", his advocacy for racial equality was never watered-down or half-hearted. His strategy was to work indirectly, sometimes behind the scenes, to influence public policy and to mobilize groups with special concerns, especially black sharecroppers.
