Following the success of the path-breaking Say It Plain (New Press, 2007), which documented the great tradition of African American political speech, this new edition adds depth to the oral and audio history of the modern struggle for racial equality. Focusing directly on the pivotal questions black America has grappled with over the past three decades, this essential document features recordings and transcripts from the speeches of Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, Angela Davis, Bayard Rustin, Cornel West and Toni Morrison.
