An eye-opening portrait of two civil rights crusaders.
The author scrupulously details how Hughes’s political poetry influenced Simone to speak out on social justice issues with songs like “Mississippi Goddam,” and the narrative is bolstered by ample photographs, handwritten notes, album covers, and promotional materials. It adds up to an eye-opening portrait of two civil rights crusaders.
