Race and the Making of American Liberalism
American liberalism has appeared in many variants since the mid-nineteenth century. Practically all forms either were unable to crack the nut of racial inequality or actively buttressed it, according to Carol A. Horton's new study.

Paul Robeson was a New Negro exemplar of the Harlem Renaissance. He was breathtakingly handsome and brainy. He had a mellifluous voice, a commanding stage and screen presence, a magnetic personality, and an easy manner.
