"Long before the
twentieth-century Civil Rights movement, the fraternal and
sororal organizations of the Black community created and
recreated sacred spaces of community solidarity and civic
courage in the best spirit of American democracy. The
authors convert this little-known story into an important
chapter of the history of the United States" -- Lani Guinier,
Harvard Law School.
