In this combination of memoir, historical narrative, and contemporary political and social analysis, he investigates the struggle for black voting rights from Reconstruction through the civil rights movement to Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns. Drawing on the work of scholars, the memoirs of civil rights workers, and the speeches and writings of black leaders like Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael, Andrew Young and John Lewis, Pinckney traces the disagreements among blacks about the best strategies for achieving equality in American society as well as the ways in which they gradually came to create the Democratic voting bloc that contributed to the election of the first black president. Interspersed through the narrative are Pinckney's own memories of growing up during the civil rights era and the reactions of his parents to the changes taking place in American society. He concludes with an examination of ongoing efforts by Republicans to suppress the black vote, with particular attention to the Supreme Court's recent decision striking down part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Also included here is Pinckney's essay "What Black Means Now," on the history of the black middle class, stereotypes about blacks and crime, and contemporary debates about "post-blackness," as well as a new essay, "Buck Moon in Harlem," which reflects on Juneteenth and the ongoing fight for racial justice, and offers a glimpse of New York City amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the protests following the killing of George Floyd"--Back cover 600 10 $a Pinckney, Darryl, $d 1953- $x Childhood and youth. 610 10 $a United States. $t Voting Rights Act of 1965 $x Interpretation and construction. 600 17 $a Pinckney, Darryl, $d 1953- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00287138 630 07 $a Voting Rights Act of 1965 (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01363616 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Political aspects. $x Political aspects. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a African Americans $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799659 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a African Americans $x Suffrage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799713 650 7 $a Race relations $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086519 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214042201.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015312.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01EA3D905F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
