Description

In this highly anticipated sequel to the book "Eyes on the Prize," bestselling author Juan Williams focuses on the rise of a new 21st-century civil rights movement. Over a century of political activity for rights has reached a peak with the election of a Black presidential candidate. But hopes for a united, post-racial America were tarnished when Barack Obama's presidency met fierce resistance. A white, right-wing backlash was underway, and a volcanic new movement—a second civil rights movement—began to erupt. In "New Prize for These Eyes," award-winning author Juan Williams sheds light on this historic, new movement. Who are its heroes? Where is it headed? What fires, rages, and frustrations distinguish it from its predecessor? In the 20th century, Black activists and their white allies called for equality and an end to segregation. They appealed to the bold statement of the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.” Their priority was legal battles in the courts and legislative victories in Congress. Today's movement faces new realities. Demographic changes have placed progressive whites in a new role among the largest and youngest population of Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians in the country's history. The new generation is adept with social media and has an agenda fueled by frustration with systemic racism and the persistent scourge of police violence. Today's activists are making history in a new economic and cultural landscape, using a new set of tools and strategies. Williams masterfully chronicles the course of this new era of civil rights, from Obama to Charlottesville, to January 6th and the Confederate flag at the Capitol. An essential read for activists, historians, and anyone interested in America's future, "New Prize for These Eyes" is more than a historical retrospective. It is a forward-looking call to action, urging Americans to engage with the progress made and the obstacles that remain to be overcome.
