Critics Review
“In the hands of Adam Fairclough, BETTER DAY COMING, does more than any other book to place the historic Civil Rights Movement within the broader scope of the Black Freedom Struggle in the twentieth century. A distinguished historian has crafted an impressive narrative of persistence and resistance, heroism and timidity.

I know of no other text that covers these years. I will definitely adopt.” –Daniel Levine, Bowdoin College
