A deeply researched, sensitive, and balanced account of the
extraordinary career of an individual whose life was spent in
combating the malignant consequences of racism. It is a first-class
piece of historical scholarship.--Willard B. Gatewood "author of

The definitive account of Hope's life . . . As well as analyzing
the era's educational and racial politics, Davis paints a rounded
and convincing portrait of John Hope as a man, a husband, and a
father. . . . This fine study convincingly demonstrates that John
Hope was one of the most important southern black leaders between
