Extract

Ever so often there are individuals who, if they have the good fortune to live long enough, can be witnesses to and participants in major historical passages. Such is the case of the ninety-three year old (at the time of this writing) African American labor activist and pan-Africanist, Maida Springer. If Springer's name is not well known outside those circles, Yevette Richards's most informative biography will go a long way toward rectifying the oversight.
