Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-06 00:00:00 Jeffrey Pubal Published in 1941 at the tail end of the Great Depression, 12 Million Black Voices juxtaposes a poetic treatise on Black oppression in America against photographs taken by those associated with the Farm Security Administration. Were it not for the work's condescension toward women, it would be well worth reading and teaching, as Wright's prose is haunting and the images are rather moving.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-20 00:00:00 Martha Hall Great book, Powerful Images on black America, an FSA (farm security administration) Images of black life in the wake of the Great Migration. There is some strong message portray throughout the book and the uses of photographic images exposing the racial and class conditions. One of the quotes from the book says. If America has forgotten her past, then let her look into the mirror of our consciousness and she will see the living past living present, for our memories go back, through our black folk of today. This is a book worth reading by everyone.
