Content:
Barack Obama's presidential victory demonstrated unprecedented racial progress on a national level. Not since the civil rights legislation of the 1960s has the United States seen such remarkable advances. During Obama's historic campaign, however, prominent African Americans voiced concern about his candidacy, demonstrating a divided agenda among black political leaders. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. changed perceptions about the nature of African American leadership. In Yes We Did?, Cynthia Fleming examines the expansion of black leadership from grassroots to the national arena
Content:
Yes, we can -- Black leadership in historical perspective -- After King, where do we go from here? -- The media and the message -- From protest to inclusion -- The continuing challenge of Black economic underdevelopment -- Black culture, then and now -- Black community and Black identity -- A crisis of victory
Note:
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-264) and index
