Oustanding depiction of a pioneering man

This book was marvelous. It gave the reader a vast overview of the life and times of one of the most prolific civil rights activists. it chronicled his life and told of achievements such as his founding of the Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car porters, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, and his membership in Phi Beta Sigma International Fraternity, Inc.The book is an excellent educational read, and has many little known FYI tidbits
