In the Lion's Mouth - Omar H. Ali - Bog

Following the collapse of Reconstruction in 1877, African Americans organised a movement in the US South for economic and political reform: Black Populism. Between 1886 and 1900, tens of thousands of black farmers, sharecroppers, and agrarian workers created their own organisations and tactics primarily under black leadership. The movement's legacy remains as the largest independent black political movement until the rise of the modern civil rights movement.
