A Life in the Struggle: Ivory Perry and the Culture of Opposition (Critical Perspectives on the Past)

Rating:
Summary: Lesson in History
Review: I really enjoyed this book because it put all of my history lessons on the Depression and the fifties through the sixties into better perspective. By following the life of Ivory Perry, a man who lived through these times, I was better able to understand the struggle that certain groups of people went through in their search for equality and fair treatment. I think this book is a wonderful teaching tool for anyone who has a difficult time with typical history books. It enables the reader to both enjoy history, and learn from it.
