Unequal : a story of America / Michael Eric Dyson & Marc Favreau.
The true story of racial inequality - and resistance to it - is the prologue to our twenty-first century present. The authors deliver a gripping chronicle of the struggles that shaped modern America through the stories of some of the many African American people who dared to fight for a more equal future. Inequality persists - but there are many paths to resist. -- Adapted from jacket.
