reviewed Crisis in the Village: Restoring Hope in African American Communities on August 22, 2011 Crisis in the Village: Restoring Hope in African American Communities
Just in case you're feeling too happy about what the election of Barack Obama has done for black America, read this book!
The end of the last chapter where he focused on rap music knocked off one star. It was kind of lame and seemed Litwack just got tired of writing. He could have talked about other ways blacks have progressed since the Civil Rights Movement.
Oh yeah and I could never read a book on lynching.
