"A companion to the PBS series And Still I Rise hosted and produced by the preeminent Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. This illustrated chronology details the most salient events of the last half century in African American history, from the climatic moments of the civil rights movement--the assassinations of Malcom X and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965--and the once unimaginable, and now nearly complete, two-term presidency of Barack H. Obama."--Dust jacket flap.
