With bracing intensity and incredible access, Lowery examines the
economic, political, and personal histories that inform this
movement, and place what it has accomplished -- and what remains to
be done -- in the context of the last fifty years of American
history. By also telling the story of his own life growing up
biracial in Cleveland, Ohio, the son of a black journalist, he will
explain the roles that hope and optimism play in shaping one's own
identity.
