South of Freedom by Carl T Rowan

Originally published in 1952 and long out of print, South of Freedom is a first-rate account of what it was like to live as a second-class citizen, to experience the segregation, humiliation, danger, stereotypes, economic exploitation, and taboos that were all part of life for African Americans in the 1940s and 1950s.
Since writing South of Freedom, Carl T. Rowan has become one of America's most recognizable journalists. He is a nationally syndicated columnist for the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Sun Times, a regular commentator on a number of Washington-based television shows, and the author of numerous books and articles, most recently The Coming Race War in America: A Wake-up Call; Breaking Barriers: A Memoir; and Dream Makers, Dream Breakers: The World of Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Douglas Brinkley, director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans, is the author of The Majic Bus: An American Odyssey; Dean Acheson: The Cold War Years; and Jimmy Carter: The Post-Presidential Years.
