520    "This long-overdue biography reestablishes William Monroe 
       Trotter's essential place next to Douglass, Du Bois, and 
       King in the pantheon of American civil rights heroes. 
       William Monroe Trotter (1872- 1934), though still 
       virtually unknown to the wider public, was an unlikely 
       American hero. With the stylistic verve of a newspaperman 
       and the unwavering fearlessness of an emancipator, he 
       galvanized black working- class citizens to wield their 
       political power despite the violent racism of post- 
       Reconstruction America. For more than thirty years, the 
       Harvard-educated Trotter edited and published the Guardian,
       a weekly Boston newspaper that was read across the nation.
       Defining himself against the gradualist politics of Booker
       T. Washington and the elitism of W. E. B. Du Bois, Trotter
       advocated for a radical vision of black liberation that 
       prefigured leaders such as Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, and 
       Martin Luther King Jr. Synthesizing years of archival 
       research, historian Kerri Greenidge renders the drama of 
       turn- of- the- century America and reclaims Trotter as a 
       seminal figure, whose prophetic, yet ultimately tragic, 
       life offers a link between the vision of Frederick 
       Douglass and black radicalism in the modern era"--
