Calling the Wind

I had to read this book during my undergraduate studies. I signed up for an African American Literature course in order to fill another block. This class was excellent because I was able to understand the true meaning of protest literature. Many of the authors in this book are the same when it comes to ethnicity, but very different in their approaches to slavery, Jim-Crowe laws, and freedom. A must read book!
