Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies (2017)
by Dick Gregory
In Defining Moments in Black History, Gregory charts the empowering yet often obscured past of the African American experience in a series of essays. In his unapologetically candid voice, he moves from African ancestry and surviving the middle passage to modern-day protests. A captivating journey through time, this collection of provocative essays explores historical movements such as the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance, as well as cultural touchstones, among them Marian Anderson's performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and Billie Holiday's haunting delivery of "Strange Fruit."
Library Availability: Ebooks, audiobooks and books available at Anoka County Library and Hennepin County Library.
