Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1682894754
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
The urban riots that happened in the African American communities during the nineteen sixties were not planned events. They spontaneously happened as a result of some occurrence and feelings of estrangement, marginalization, disparagement, and disrespect by America of black people as evidenced by history and the events of that era. Each time that members of the black community took to the streets and caused mayhem, it brought embarrassment for America, which was supposed to be the land of the free and home of the brave. This book chronicles some of the history that led to the riots and the events of the time, as seen through the eyes of an ordinary, young, coming of age black man endeavoring to find his way in America and to acknowledge unrecognized participants in the fight for civil rights.
