Description
Description
"Don't Shout Too Soon," chronicles the years between World Wars I and II, a time of increased mob violence, lynchings and massacres. Terrorism kept white supremacy in place. But three men, each part of the fledgling NAACP, confronted the terrors of racism. W.E.B. DuBois called for veterans of World War I to "return home fighting." Walter White went among the lynchers to discover the truth behind the rapes and insurrections allegedly committed by blacks, and Charles Hamilton Houston designed and successfully applied a legal strategy that challenged Jim Crow and laid the groundwork for the famous Brown vs. Board of Education decision, which desegregated public schools in 1954. The Roosevelt administration opened new doors for African Americans, and labor organizer A. Philip Randolph successfully organized railroad porters.
