During the Great Depression, black intellectuals, labor organizers, and artists formed the National Negro Congress (NNC) to demand a "second emancipation" in America. Over the next decade, the NNC and its offshoot, the Southern Negro Youth Congress, sought to coordinate and catalyze local antiracist activism into a national movement to undermine the Jim Crow system of racial and economic exploitation. In this pioneering study, Erik S. Gellman shows how the NNC agitated for the first-class citizenship of African Americans and all members of the working class, establishing civil rights as necessary for reinvigorating American democracy. Much more than just a precursor to the 1960s civil rights movement, this activism created the most militant interracial freedom movement since Reconstruction, one that sought to empower the American labor movement to make demands on industrialists, white supremacists, and the state as never before. By focusing on the complex alliances between unions, civic groups, and the Communist Party in five geographic regions, Gellman explains how the NNC and its allies developed and implemented creative grassroots strategies to weaken Jim Crow, if not deal it the "death blow" they sought.

Your Dad Bod is a Problem... You Are The Solution I know. This is a hard truth to hear. After all, it's not like you set out to have a body you're less than satisfied with. Yet, here you are. You got married; had kids. Your responsibilities rapidly stockpiled. Caring for your body was snuffed out by your responsibility to care for the lives of others. These are noble intentions, to be sure, but even the most noble intentions can lead to very regrettable consequences. The consequences of your actions (and inaction) have now become impossible to ignore. The days, weeks, months and years have gone by. Your body fat slowly climbed, your muscles have deteriorated, you've slid into a state of complacency, and you feel like a fraction of the man you once were. Death Blow to the Dad Bod is the solution for taking ownership over the mediocrity you're displaying to the world with your body. You will learn exactly what to do to get a lean, strong, masculine physique: What to eat How much to eat When to eat it How to train your body to shed fat and build muscle simultaneously When to perform cardio and weights for maximum effectiveness How to apply the most important training principle every time you train How to track your results What to do to eliminate any fat loss plateau And more... I get it. You feel like you've heard all this before. I'm not going to tell your itching ears what they want to hear for the sake of selling more copies of my book. I believe a man's reputation is worth more than any amount of money. So, here's the 100% honest truth. This system will work for every man who is willing to commit to following the instructions it provides. You put in the work, and you'll get the results you're after. That's my promise to you. The other promise I will give you is the promise that what I'm offering you won't be easy. I realize this doesn't help to sell books, but it's the truth. Anybody selling you on the idea that building a body you can be proud of is easy is being dishonest. If you embark on this mission it will likely be one of the most difficult things you've ever committed to. I've broken the process down into a very simple and easy to follow action plan. It's the day-to-day decision to feed your body and train it for success that will test how genuine your desire for change truly is. Finally, I will promise you that the end result is well worth every bit of sacrifice it takes to earn it. I've yet to have any man approach me after destroying his dad bod to tell me that it was a poor decision. Every single one of them would do it again without any hesitation. Until you've tasted life on the other side it's impossible to comprehend how profound the difference truly is. No amount of words can do it justice. What I'm offering you right now is the opportunity to experience it for yourself. Are you ready to see what's possible?
