Description: A compelling biography of a key figure of the Harlem Renaissance, an eminent Chicago-trained sociologist, and a pioneering race relations leader.
Review Quotes: "Gilpin and Gasman have captured the essence of this formal, private, enigmatic man's work and put it in the context of his times--the tumultuous decades leading up to Brown v. Board of Education and the civil rights movement. This is a welcome and long-overdue addition to the canon of American civil rights history."
