Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Another volume in an excellent series, this complements Black Leaders of the Twentieth Century ( LJ 4/1/82). Seventeen authors have contributed 16 unfootnoted essays (one is coauthored) on important American black leaders. Among the notable pieces are Peter Wood's on Nat Turner, Benjamin Quarles's on Harriet Tubman, Waldo Martin's on Frederick Douglass, and George Wright's on William Steward. Strongly recommended for most college and university libraries and others with black history collections. Joseph G. Dawson III, Texas A&M Univ., College Station
