an important assemblage of writings by three pivotal leaders of the NAACP ... The writing brings the work of little-heralded heroes from the shadows into the spotlight.

Ebony, Sept 1999

This collection of writings offers a glimpse into the minds of three N.A.A.C.P. leaders who occupied the centre of black thought and action during some of the most troublesome and pivotal times of the civil rights movement. The volume delineates fifty-seven years of the N.A.A.C.P.'s program under the successive direction of James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, and Roy Wilkins. These writings illustrate the vital roles of these three leaders in building a people's liberation, underscoring not only their progressive influence throughout their time in power, but also a vision of the future as race relations enter the 21st Century. Much of the material, notably "The Secretary's Reports to the Board," is published here for the first time, offering an invaluable resource for those seeking a deeper knowledge of the history of race in America

"Well organized, this is worthy reading for both general and scholarly readers."--Library Journal "...the book gives readers a glimpse into the history of the country's oldest civil rights organization and into the minds of some of its leading thinkers. The writing brings the work of little-heralded heroes from the shadows into the spotlight."--Ebony "Well organized, this is worthy reading for both general and scholarly readers."--Library Journal "...the book gives readers a glimpse into the history of the country's oldest civil rights organization and into the minds of some of its leading thinkers. The writing brings the work of little-heralded heroes from the shadows into the spotlight."--Ebony "[In Search of Democracy] is fascinating in its detailed account of the little-known protests, forgotten lynchings, and great moments in our national history. It is also an inspiring reminder of the contributions and ideals of these three great men who led the nation's oldest civil-rights organization over six decades. Invaluable in the ever-developing library of black history."--Black Issues Book Review "Wilson's new collection of NAACP writings, In Search of Democracy, attests to her exceptional skill as editor and archivist. This book, with the accumulate might of these public documents, is the ideal companion piece to her earlier offerings and an assurance that all literary executors are not out to find profit and glory in the work of those they assign to protect and defend."--QBR
