Louis E. Lomax is an avid observer of the Black Rebellion, in many of his books and articles. From the moment he met Martin Luther King at Atlanta Airport until the moment he had preached at the uncle's church in Valdosta he was shocked by his uncomfortable and uneasy juxtaposition in his hometown. It was a portrait of an interesting southern town that appeared. There are other changes as well. The new highway from Atlanta to Jacksonville destroyed my sucking and squid holes that my grandfather and I have ever fished ... Clyattville Road's mud is now an airport and graduated from there 25 years high school It was JL Lomax middle school named after my uncle James. When I was walking along these streets when I was a child I was proud of myself as I knew exactly the number of people in the town - 14,592. My grandfather used to say that this number includes "blacks, whites, chickens, cows, 2 donkeys and 1 stray dog".

This is a comprehensive information-based report by African-Americans about the emotions of the battle of his people and the quest for their cause. The award - winning writer "Reluctant Africans" explained that the current black rebellion is not only directed to the white world but also to the deep - rooted leadership of the good old black organization. In explaining this double revolt, Mr. Romax made a new view on American history and studied the black leader organization in detail.
