Black Maverick: T. R. M. Howard's Fight for Civil Rights and Economic Power

Enlightening perspective on civil rights movement

This was a well researched and objective look at the period of struggle for civil rights that is often overlooked. The book goes further back to a time before Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders pushed the issues to the tipping point.

The book gives readers a much needed perspective on the struggle for civil rights before the boycotts, marches and now famous speeches we associate with civil rights of the 1960s by recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of one of that period's most controversial but effective leaders.

Without pioneers like T.R.M. Howard paving the way, who knows how the civil rights struggle would have played out ultimately.

Didn't know him

Well written,very interesting,kept me wanting to turn pages. Most important, ties Dr.Howard with the more notable players in the civil rights movement.
