520    In this exciting revisionist history, Stephen Tuck traces 
       the black freedom struggle in all its diversity, from the 
       first years of freedom during the Civil War to President 
       Obama's inauguration. As it moves from popular culture to 
       high politics, from the Deep South to New England, the 
       West Coast, and abroad, Tuck weaves gripping stories of 
       ordinary black people -- as well as celebrated figures -- 
       into the sweep of racial protest and social change. The 
       drama unfolds from an armed march of longshoremen in post-
       Civil War Baltimore to Booker T. Washington's founding of 
       Tuskegee Institute; from the race riots following Jack 
       Johnson's "fight of the century" to Rosa Parks' refusal to
       move to the back of a Montgomery bus; and from the rise of
       hip hop to the journey of a black Louisiana grandmother to
       plead with the Tokyo directors of a multinational company 
       to stop the dumping of toxic waste near her home. We Ain't
       What We Ought To Be rejects the traditional narrative that
       identifies the Southern non-violent civil rights movement 
       as the focal point of the black freedom struggle. Instead,
       it explores the dynamic relationships between those 
       seeking new freedoms and those looking to preserve racial 
       hierarchies, and between grassroots activists and national
       leaders. As Tuck shows, strategies were ultimately 
       contingent on the power of activists to protest amidst 
       shifting economic and political circumstances in the U.S. 
       and abroad. This book captures an extraordinary journey 
       that speaks to all Americans, both past and future. -
