520 "Drawing upon nearly two hundred years of recorded African
American oratory, The Will of a People: A Critical
Anthology of Great African American Speeches, edited by
Richard W. Leeman and Bernard K. Duffy, brings together in
one unique volume some of this tradition's most noteworthy
speeches, each paired with an astute introduction designed
to highlight its most significant elements. Arranged
chronologically, from Maria Miller Stewart's 1832 speech
"Why Sit Ye Here and Die?" to President Barack Obama's
2009 inaugural address, these orations are tied to many of
the key themes and events of American history, as well as
the many issues and developments in American race
relations. These themes, events, and issues include the
changing roles of women, Native American relations,
American "manifest destiny," abolitionism, the industrial
revolution, Jim Crow, lynching, World War I and American
self-determination, the rise of the New Deal and
government social programs, the Civil Rights Movement and
desegregation, the Vietnam War, Nixon and Watergate, gay
and lesbian rights, immigration, and the rise of a
mediated culture. Leeman and Duffy have carefully selected
the most eloquent and relevant speeches by African
Americans, including those by Sojourner Truth, Frederick
Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Ida B. Wells-
Barnett, Booker T. Washington, Mary Church Terrell, W.E.B.
Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X,
Stokely Carmichael, Barbara Jordan, Jesse Jackson, and
Marian Wright Edelman, many of which have never received
significant scholarly attention. The Will of a People is
the first book to pair the full texts of the most
important African American orations with substantial
introductory essays intended to guide the reader's
understanding of the speaker, the speech, its rhetorical
interpretation, and the historical context in which it
occurred. Broadly representative of the African American
experience, as well as what it means to be American, this
valuable collection will serve as an essential guide to
the African American oratory tradition."--Project Muse.
