This is book number 41 in the Black Studies and Critical Thinking series.

For almost four decades, William Sherrill was a critical leader of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and a leading African American intellectual and activist in 1930s and 1940s Detroit. As the first biography of Sherrill, this book examines him as part of a historical tradition from which post-World War II Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism re-emerged.
Kenneth S. Jolly earned his PhD in African American history from the University of Missouri, Columbia. Currently he is Associate Professor of History and Advisor to Black Studies at Saginaw Valley State University.
