Focusing on the life of William Sherrill, this biography highlights his pivotal role in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and his influence on African American activism in Detroit during the 1930s and 1940s. It positions Sherrill as a crucial link between early 20th-century self-determination movements and the rise of post-World War II Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism. The book delves into themes of economic empowerment, cultural identity, and the continuity of race-based institutions, re-framing the narrative around Garveyism and its legacy.
