About this audiobook
This is the classic story of a multiple day conversation between a Southern racist politician and an eloquent and educated African American. This story is not just about a conversation about race and the equality of all men but it also shows how disagreements can be had in a civil manner, which is important especially in this day and age.
Author
J. A. Rogers
J.A. Rogers was an anthropologist and historian whose pioneering work in Black Studies was little appreciated during his lifetime. Among his many books are Superman to Man and Sex and Race. World's Great Men of Color was completed in 1947 but was published only in a small private edition. This edition has been brought up to date with an introduction, commentaries, and bibliographical notes by John Henrik Clarke, editor of Malcolm X: The Man and His Times and Harlem, U.S.A.
