Half a century after brave Americans took to the streets during the civil rights era, Williams writes that too many black Americans are in crisis. Enough is a bold, perceptive look at African American life, culture and politics today. Williams raises the banner of proud black traditional values that sustained black people through generations of oppression. He asks what happened to keeping our eyes on the prize by proving the case for equality with black excellence and achievement. Reinforcing his incisive observations with solid research and alarming statistical data, Williams offers a concrete plan for overcoming the obstacles that now stand in the way of African Americans’ full participation in the nation’s freedom and prosperity. Williams is a senior correspondent for NPR. He is the author of Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary and Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965, among other books.
