Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-30 00:00:00 Mr Rj Clark Augie Meier was a very interesting guy -- a white guy who taught at Fisk and Morgan State and other HBCU's for many years (finally he gave up and went to Kent State). As a leftist and a political agitator (in addition to being a scholar), Meier was once picked by his students at Fisk (I believe) to debate the integrationist side against Malcolm X, who had come to visit -. Most of the book contains selections of his political writings -- Old Left 1950's stuff. But the introduction is autophiographical and is of interest. The book is available here: His scholarly work, mainly Negro Thought in America, 1880-1915 (1963), looks solid -- though I've only scanned the book: Here's his bio:

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-03 00:00:00 Richard Garcia Sr. I have a signed copy of the book since I worked with Ambassador Young during the Atlanta Olympic Games. At the time, I was Director of Public Relations at UNICEF USA and Andrew Young helped the organization with a global effort called Olympic Aid Atlanta that raised some $12.5 million for children in war. It was a very powerful experience. I loved reading his personal history and to learn how faith carried him through the tough moments. When my first husband got diagnosed with brain cancer in 1999, I turned to the book often, reflecting upon the prayer, "A Way Out of No Way."
