Why Not Every Man?

African Americans and Civil Disobedience in the Quest for the Dream

Beschreibung

The record of civil disobedience by African Americans begins soon after slaves were brought legally to the American colonies: they began to run away, and of how civil disobedience, first suggested in America by Henry Thoreau, crossed oceans to influence Mohandas K. Gandhi, whose thinking in turn attracted a divinity student named Martin Luther King, Jr.
