The companion book to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s PBS series, And Still I Rise—a timeline and chronicle of the past fifty years of black history in the U.S. in more than 350 photos. Gates, who is expert at both, catching fish while seeing tides, leaves us with a simple, implicit moral: a long fight for freedom, with too many losses along the way, can be sustained only by a rich and complicated culture. Very sad commentary on humanity. The documentary begins with the exuberant hope that accompanied the end of the war and the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865 and ends in 1915, by which time Jim Crow and segregation were hardened facts of life.

Bringing a lifetime of wisdom to bear as a scholar, filmmaker, and public intellectual, Gates uncovers the roots of structural racism in our own time, while showing how African Americans after slavery combatted it by articulating a vision of a “New Negro” to force the nation to recognize their humanity and unique contributions to America as it hurtled toward the modern age.The story Gates tells begins with great hope, with the Emancipation Proclamation, Union victory, and the liberation of nearly 4 million enslaved African-Americans. He surveys an era full of pain and loss but also human persistence and astonishing cultural renewal in African American life. Professor Gates' writing style is pedagogical in the extreme; the text reads more like a research paper than a narrative history and analysis.
