Although it's a pretty long and extensive book, there is a lot of history. The book consists of lecture notes during the time Mr. Bond was teaching. The book was a little difficult to get through because of the subject nature, but it gives a lot of information, some of it I knew, and some of it I had never heard of before reading this book. It should be on everyone's list when wanting to learn about Black history.

I received this book via Edelweiss, and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The way we are taught the Civil Rights movement is almost like we only watch the checkmates in a chess tournament. Bond's college lectures introduce us to all the pieces and show us how, working together through battle after battle, each of the offensives ended the checkmate.
