(Blockson) "This collection of essays and speeches illuminates Margaret Walker's importance to the history of ideas that has been reflected in Black writing in America for half a century. In commenting upon the culture of America and the ideas so central to it religion, family, racial consciousness, the role of women these essays serve as a useful introduction to Margaret Walker's thought."
