Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

An accomplished African American activist's valuable stories and insights on navigating crises, building networks, and maintaining a commitment to community--from the foment of the 1960s to todayI was there in north Minneapolis when the national protests of the 'long, hot summer' swept through my new home town too, mostly along Plymouth Avenue.

Rewind is the capstone of a remarkable fifty years of activism.…
