Trouble in Mind - by Leon F Litwack (Paperback)

This essential book sheds light on the calamitous legacy of Jim Crow and the resilience and creativity of the human spirit that preserved the genius of the human spirit.

With new documentation and first-person accounts, Litwack describes the injustices inflicted against Black men and women whose activism, literature, and music preserved the human spirit.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the tragic legacies of freedom as well as slavery and the ongoing struggle for racial justice in America.
