Patricia Sullivan's 2009 book, Lift Every Voice: The NAACP and the Making of the Civil Rights Movement, is the first major history of America's oldest civil rights organization and destined to be a classic in the field. Sullivan unearths the little-known early decades of the NAACP's activism, telling startling stories of personal bravery, legal brilliance, and political maneuvering.
