Jack B Moore painted W.E.B Du Bois as a prominent figure in early 20th century black politics, including that he was one of the founding members of the NAACP, and that he was a champion for the Pan-Africanist cause in general. The author helps make the connection between the mentorship he came under in his formative years and his eventual conversion to a socialist world view more clear.

Joshua Bloom's Black Against Empire was very informative. Not only, did the author thoroughly explain the political affiliations that allowed the Black Panther party to form and thrive for the short period that it did, but he explained the education and political backdrop of each of its leaders and prominent figures. Great book for someone who wants to learn about the political climate of the Civil Rights Movement.

I think this book is very informative. I am glad that I read this because it filled me in on some of the missing information I had about the catholic faith. It also helped me to understand some 9f the concepts I thought I already knew, but was actually mistaken about. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about catholicism or any catholic who may need it as a reference.

Well written book about an important figure in black history.
