In August, 1933, dozens of people gathered near Amenia, in upstate New York. Joel Spingarn, president of the board of the NAACP, had called a conference to revitalize the flagging civil rights organization. This book narrates how this little-known conference brought together a remarkable young group of African American activists, capturing through the lives of five extraordinary participants - Juanita Jackson, Ralph Bunche, Abram Harris, Louis Redding, and Moran Weston - how this generation shaped the ongoing movement for civil rights during the Depression, World War II, and beyond.
