Summary

"Living Black History reveals the transformative power of the past, and also explores the current fragility of our shared history. From the near disappearance of assassinated NAACP leader, Medgar Evers, from America's history books to the commercialization of the legacy of Malcolm X, too often the truths of the past are obscured by the myths created by politics and commerce. Living Black History is an intellectual intervention for all Americans, but especially for those of African descent, that calls on us to stand up and safeguard the legacies of those who came before us."--BOOK JACKET.
