Terrorism, staggering poverty, and economic exploitation led to conditions of collective trauma and social suffering for thousands of black Deltans in the twentieth century. Kim Lacy Rogers reveals the impact of these oppressive circumstances, and traces the traditions of community service and leadership in the lives of members of the community who became activists. The book examines the disillusionment and anger that many Delta leaders felt and continue to feel in the aftermath of the post-movement years.
