Born along the Color Line: The 1933 Amenia Conference and the Rise of a National Civil Rights Movement
Miller, Eben (Professor of History, Professor of History, Southern Maine Community College)
With elegant writing and piercing insight, historian Eben Miller narrates how this little-known conference brought together a remarkable young group of African American activists, capturing through the lives of five extraordinary participants-youth activist Juanita Jackson, diplomat Ralph Bunche, economist Abram Harris, lawyer Louis Redding, and Harlem organizer Moran Weston-how this generation shaped the ongoing movement for civil rights during the Depression, World War II, and beyond.
