Since first landing on these shores in 1619, each generation of Black people has faced the continual assault on the simple idea that our lives have meaning. Often lethal, almost always violent, this ever present attack on Black Life has also given rise in each generation to social and political resistance. The chroniclers of that resistance have given not just voice to the moment but also inspiration to later generations. Moved By The Spirit joins the library of texts made sacred as witness to the Black struggle for life. This book's value for today is immense. Its contribution to the future inestimable.
