When this memoir first appeared in 1948, its author, Dr. Joseph Holley, was often cited for inappropriate accommodation to white supremacy policies. In actuality, as the editors point out in their new edition with a new introduction and foreword, this book is a minor classic serving as a record of the black conservative mind at that time. Dr. Holley's association and acquaintance with Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington inspired and propelled him toward the foundation of an African-American college now called Albany State College in Georgia. This book synthesizes the philosophical and historical debate surrounding Washington's accommodationist argument versus DuBois' confrontational view, reaching conclusions of critical importance today to black/white relationships. First published in 1948 by the William Federal Press.

[ The tensions of the first night increased dramatically on the second night of the sweeps. As promised by the SFPD brass, even more cops filled the streets, but other promises they made were broken. Chief Scott stated that the officers making stops were interested only in evidence having to do with the Zebra attacks, and that lesser offenses would be ignored. As Sanders recalls, when the sweeps grew, restraint went out the window.
"Cops began to act like they had a license to do anything. Instead of just stopping people and questioning them, they were spread-eagling them against walls and busting them for anything they found: a joint, a pen knife that was too long, even unpaid traffic tickets. It got to the point where Gil and I had to get into it with some of the cops, telling them to back off for fear they'd start something they couldn't stop." (hide spoiler)]
