America Behind The Color Line Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Published by History - United States

Author: Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Publisher: History - United States

Description:
In vast numbers, African Americans are returning to the South, transforming cities such as Atlanta into centers of financial power and good living...even as black residents in ailing cities strive to break the entrenched cycle of inadequate education, unemployment, and crime. How did the civil rights movement and social progress result in African Americans on the verge of becoming two societies-one privileged and one disenfranchised?

Professor Gates traveled across the country interviewing forty-four famous and not-so-famous individuals from different parts of the African-American community-the 'Black Elite,' 'The New South,' 'Chicago's South Side,' and 'Black Hollywood.' In their own candid, deeply felt words, each discusses what it means to be African American in the twenty-first century: from Maya Angelou and Morgan Freeman's reflections on 'returning home' to the South...to convict 'Eric Edwards' telling us how his peers find self-sufficiency and prove their adulthood--from an interracial couple describing how they cope with the remnants of racism in Birmingham to a single mother's insights into how life on Chicago's newly renovated South Side still presents its own particular obstacles and dangers. Honest, informative, sweeping in its scope and unforgettably moving in its details, this book is an eye-opening tour into the heart and soul of a community. It reveals just how far African Americans and America have come-and how far they still need to go.
