DArmy Bailey was the freshman class president at Southern University when four black college students refused to leave the whites-only lunch counter of a Greensboro, North Carolina Woolworths on February 1, 1960. Their action set off a wave of similar protests among black college students across the South, including DArmy Bailey and his classmates at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Education of a Black Radical details Baileys experiences on the front lines of the black student movement of the early 1960s, providing a rare firsthand account of the early days of Americas civil rights struggle. www.alibris.com
