Marching Blacks
"This book will tell the story of the Negro's growth, not in terms of statistics, population, or wealth, but in terms of his increasing mass power. It will record the growing number of whites who are marching up Freedom Road with him, point out proven techniques to bring about a bloodless revolution, and lastly, urge ten million Negroes now living in the South to migrate North immediately after the end of this war [World War II]"--Pages 7-8.
King of the Cats
"Born to a legacy of elite black Baptist ministry, Powell (1908-72) stood as the 'New Negro' whose triumphs over racial discrimination moved some to call him 'Mr. Civil Rights.' To others, the longtime Harlem congressman was either a prodigal son or merely unpredictable, intemperate, enigmatic, and dangerous."--"Library Journal." Photos.

Adam's Belle
This is the memoir of the late Isabel Washington Powell -- Cotton Club dancer and movie star in the 1920's, political activist and "Queen of Harlem" in the 1930's and 40's, and the first wife of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. It is an exceptional story of the Harlem Renaissance and the early life of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. as the Pastor of the largest African-American church in the U.S. at the time -- Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, his early civil rights battles, his time as a member of the New York City Council and later running for Congress. Told by the woman who knew Adam best, much of this story has never been published before. Written as a first person narrative, "Adam's Belle" captures the reader's attention.
