"'BLACK PROTEST is by far the fullest documentary history of three and one-half centuries of Blackican protest and agitation available at the price. The editor provides intelligent commentary throughout, and the book pulls no punches. Its message is neither hopefull nor threatening, but realistic; and among the realities is that Blacks have tried virtually everything to secure their right--petitions, the vote, court action, demonstrations, marches, appeasement, threats, nonviolence, violence, alliances with whites, black nationalism--and still, for some reason, in this democracy, have been resisted, put off and denied. This is the essence of American Black history, both protest and oppression.' - Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times" --
