Notes:

"This is an expanded and revised edition of an anthology that was the first of its kind when it originally appeared in 1965 under the title 'Negro Protest Thought in the Twentieth Century' ... The main purpose of this new edition is to add a lengthy new section, 'The Era of Black Power,' with a full array of exponents and critics of the ideology that dominated the debate of 1965 to 1970. At the same time a dozen new documents have been added to earlier sections of the book which otherwise remain more or less intact."--Introduction.

"The many selections included in this volume have been printed as in the original in each case, even with variant spellings and grammatical usages. However, it has been necessary to abridge some of them in order to present a wide spectrum of thought on this crucial American problem. Whenever this has occurred, ellipses mark the abridgment, but the reader may be sure that no passage has been pruned of its central thought."--Editors' note and acknowledgment.
