Negroes With Guns (African American Life Series)

Summary: Read the book and I met the Man
Review: Robert F. Williams is a man who is forgotten in most histories of The Civil Rights Movement. He talked and practiced self-defense before Malcolm X became a household name. He represented the militant leadership that was to follow him in the form of SNCC and The Black Panther Party. He correctly showed the limits of integration and why everyone could not turn the other cheek.A must buy book.

Summary: What your history teacher didn't tell you
Review: This is a raw, powerful book about an aspect of the Civil Rights movement that your history teacher was not likely to have told you. Contrary to popular belief, the Civil Rights movement was not all about Dr. King and nonviolence (with all due respect). Robert Williams preached and practiced armed self-defense against the powers that be. Read his story and learn. It will shock and inspire you (this book also inspired Huey Newton and the Black Panther movement). For more about this unsung hero, read Timothy Tyson's "Radio Free Dixie."

Summary: Great Work reveals little know portion of history
Review: We rarely hear about black people defending themselves. This book historically demonstrates that minorities must have the ability to protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority. The story of the Deacons of Defence arming themselves against the trepidations of racists is inspirational. Object lessons for people of all races and creeds. Buy it. I hope this book never goes away.
