The Making of Black Revolutionaries

Sammy Younge, Jr.: The First Black College Student to Die in the Black Liberation Movement

Even as a child, Sammy Younge, Jr. saw the struggle for equal rights as a personal challenge. A political science student at prestigious Tuskegee Institute, he became a leader in the student Civil Rights Movement. Demonstrations were touched off on January 4, 1966 when it became known that Sammy, age 21, had been shot and killed by a gas station attendant. James Forman knew Sammy personally, and tells the young martyr's story through interviews with family and friends.

Biographies & Memoirs

Community & Culture

The poems of this book display a profound concern for humanity and challenge the proposition that anything is ordinary. The first section ("days of protest/night of peace") expresses solidarity with poor and war-ravaged people in Central and South America and in South Africa. The second section ("dead flowers") is a collection of love poems, and the last section ("poems from blue mountain") focuses on African American folklore. The illustrations complement the poems in strength and sensitivity.
