A História Continua!
"It is a measure of the scope of the movement that after an overview,
five decade chapters, and more than two dozen vignettes, many relevant names and
organizations are still left out of these pages or mentioned only in
passing. For every person whose role is discussed there are five more,
or 10 more, who should be profiled as well. ...To all the individuals
and organizations who are not mentioned in this story but should be, we
can only say that we hope you see this book as also reflecting your own
experience, and as a catalyst for documenting other threads of the movement
for African liberation. ... The stories we tell in this book are, in our
view, just a beginning of the history that needs to be written." -
No Easy Victories, pages xii and 14
"This is a highly valuable volume ... Still, in its very
strength it exposes an entire realm of research that has yet to be
completed." - Gerald Horne,
H-NET review, January 2008
Corrections
Despite repeated proofreading, there are always a few mistakes to be corrected.
Please let us know of any such mistakes or factual errors you see by writing
to website editor William Minter. For
factual errors please supply documentation if possible for the correction.
Corrections will be noted on this site and, to the extent possible, corrected
in future print editions.
(1) Page 69 - The name of the woman identified as "Margaret Cartwright" in the photo
caption should be corrected to "Marguerite Cartwright."
(2) Page 236 - The publication by Gail Hovey referenced here should read
Namibia's Stolen Wealth: North American Investment and South African
Occupation, not North African Investment.
Additions
In many cases it was not possible to identify all the people in photographs included or
other relevant details. If you can supply such missing information, please send a
message to website editor William Minter.
Sucah additions will be noted on this site and, to the extent possible, corrected
in future print editions.
(1) Page 49 - When I took the book to the gym at which I work out regularly
(City Fitness in Washington, DC) to show
to friends, Veronica Robin on the desk flipped the book open by chance to this page.
"Oh, my god," she said, "that's Mr. Cooke from my mother's church." The caption on the
photo only identitied Aleah Bacquie, Rev.
Morris Shearin of Israel Baptist Church and "a church deacon." What I learned
subsequently is that William Branson Cooke, II (1927-1998) was not only a highly
respected leader in Walker Memorial Baptist Church, but also a lifelong community
activist and, along with Rev. Shearin, an active leader of the Washington, DC branch of
the NAACP.
