Publisher Description An epic narrative of the struggle against injustice, hailed as "the definitive history of the NAACP" by Henry Louis Gates Jr.A "civil rights Hall of Fame" (Kirkus) that was published to remarkable praise in conjunction with the NAACPs Centennial Celebration, Lift Every Voice is a momentous history of the struggle for civil rights told through the stories of men and women who fought inescapable racial barriers in the North as well as the South-keeping the promise of democracy alive from the earliest days of the twentieth century to the triumphs of the 1950s and 1960s.Historian Patricia Sullivan unearths the little-known early decades of the NAACPs activism, telling startling stories of personal bravery, legal brilliance, and political maneuvering by the likes of W.E.B. Du Bois, Mary White Ovington, Walter White, Charles Houston, Ella Baker, Thurgood Marshall, and Roy Wilkins. In the critical postwar era, following a string of legal victories culminating in Brown v.
