Customer Reviews

Shaes of Freedom is a piece of quality reading material

After reading 'Shades of Freedom...' I have gained a greater insight into racial descrimination and issues concerning race. The themes in the novel were intriguing and delivered in a detailed objective manner.

A must for any American who is interested in facts

A. Leon Higgenbotham's "Shades of Freedom" was as insightful as it was detailed. At last an educated answer to the problems surrounding racism. His honest and unbiased cronoligy gave way to many missunderstood reasons for the anger still alive by African Americans. Excellent for school or public library or personal use.
