Portraits of Black Americans series.
These well-rounded overviews of important civil rights leaders focus primarily on their accomplishments as influential activists and consider the contributions each made to the movement as a whole.

Review covers these Portraits of Black Americans titles: A. Philip Randolph and the African-American Labor Movement, No Easy Answers, and Roy Wilkins.
