Wells, Martin Luther King Jr., and Barack Obama, chronicles the diverse ways each fought racism and shows how much--and how little--has changed for Black Americans since our country's founding.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFull of daring escapes, deep emotion, and subtle lessons on how racism operates, A LONG TIME COMING reveals the universal importance of its subjects' struggles for justice. From freedom seeker Ona Judge, who fled her enslavement by America's first president, to Barack Obama, the first Black president, all of Shepard's protagonists fight valiantly for justice for themselves and all Black Americans in any way that they can. But it is also a highly personal book, as Shepard -- whose maternal grandfather was enslaved -- shows how the grand sweep of history has touched his life, reflecting on how much progress has been made against racism, while also exhorting readers to complete the vast work that remains to be done.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Calkins Creek","offers":[{"title":"Long Time Coming: A Lyrical Biography of Race in America from Ona Judge to Barack Obama | Ray Anthony Shepard | Hardcover | 9781662680663 | Used: Like New | YA 1697180","offer_id":48751378923672,"sku":"1697180","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81Zetj6lOHL.jpg?v=1773955630","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/long-time-coming-a-lyrical-biography-of-race-in-america-from-ona-judge-to-barack-obama","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
