''An important contribution to the historiography of the modern African-American freedom struggle. By focusing on a campaign located outside the Deep South (led principally by an African-American woman) that attracted an unprecedented level of federal investigation, Levy joins those scholars who are profitably extending our understanding of what the freedom struggle was, how it was organized, and even when and where it was to be found.

Using an extensive body of sources, including more than 30 interviews, this biography details and analyzes the life of human rights activist Gloria Richardson, leader of the Cambridge movement in Maryland during the 1960s. Because her radical and uncompromising positions on black liberation were highly influential on the Black Power wave of the black liberation movement, this text depicts Richardson as a progenitor of Black Power who served in its leadership vanguard. This work also moves the geographic borders of Black Power's roots south to Maryland's Eastern Shore, detailing the Cambridge movement's social justice campaign for more jobs and improvements in housing, health care, and education.
