Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter

Más información sobre el libro

William Monroe Trotter emerges as a pivotal figure in the struggle for black liberation in post-Reconstruction America. A Harvard-educated journalist, he passionately advocated for political empowerment among black working-class citizens through his influential publication, the Guardian. Trotter's radical approach contrasted sharply with the more gradualist views of contemporaries like Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, foreshadowing later civil rights leaders. Historian Kerri Greenidge's comprehensive research highlights Trotter's significant yet tragic legacy in American history.
