Septima Poinsette Clark's gift to the civil rights movement was education. This book traces Clark's life from her earliest years as a student, teacher, and community member in rural and urban South Carolina to her radicalization as an activist following World War II.

A new, annotated edition of an important slave narrative first published in 1922. Written by William Henry Singleton, who had been a slave on a Craven County, North Carolina plantation, this volume is a compelling account of a long and remarkable journey from slavery to freedom in the American South. Singleton recounts his years as a slave in antebellum North Carolina, his escape to Union-occupied territory during the Civil War, and his wartime service in the African Brigade, before concluding with a brief sketch of his life after 1865.
