Black Society

Description:

**Gerri Major's comprehensive documentation of a little-known but highly successful group, the Black elite, is rich in historical detail. It covers over 200 years of history and charts the evolution of a class of people that successfully achieved a high quality of life, leadership, and advocacy for the Black American community in the presence of societal repression, segregation laws, and prejudice. Fascinating and highly recommended.**
