Description: The abolition of slavery after the Civil War is a familiar story as is the civil rights revolution that transformed the nation after World War II. But the century in between remains a mystery: if emancipation sparked 'a new birth of freedom in Lincoln's America why was it necessary to march in Martin Luther King Jr.'s America? Gates uncovers the roots of structural racism in our own time while showing how African - Americans after slavery combatted it by articulating a vision of a New Negro to force the nation to recognise their humanity and unique contributions to the United States.
