"From Marcus Garvey to Shirley Chisholm, Say It Plain gives listeners and readers a portrait of how black Americans have sounded the charge against injustice, exhorting the country to live up to its democratic principles. Most of these actual recordings of speeches by the twentieth century's leading African American cultural, spiritual, and political figures have been tucked away in archives and libraries, and are presented here for the first time here. Together, the set captures an incomparable tradition of oratory, and includes some of the most powerful public speeches of the past century."--BOOK JACKET.
