Summary of Les Payne & Tamara Payne's The Dead Are Arising

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first half of the twentieth century was marked by the treatment of blacks who dared exercise their civil rights, which were reserved for whites only. In the North, the racial divide was de facto and maintained at key levels of society, while in the South, it was de jure and enforced by law.

#2 Malcolm Little was the seventh of Earl’s children, and the first to be born in Detroit. He was the son of a pioneering, Midwestern family. He would become a major figure in twentieth-century American history.

#3 Earl’s family had experienced the terror of the Ku Klux Klan, and he welcomed his new son as another mouth to feed.

#4 Earl’s father, Reverend Little, was a preacher who was very independent and outspoken. He was often in conflict with his in-laws, who were more subservient to whites. He eventually left Georgia and moved to Philadelphia, where he met and was influenced by the teachings of Marcus Garvey.
