“ANSWERING THE CALL: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE MODERN STRUGGLE TO END RACIAL SEGREGATION IN AMERICA”

“Answering the Call” is an extraordinary eyewitness account by Judge Nathaniel R. Jones, an unsung hero of the battle for racial equality in America―a battle that, far from ending with the great victories of the Civil Rights era, saw some of its signal achievements in the desegregation fights of the 1970s and its most notable setbacks in the affirmative action debates that continue into the present in Ferguson, Baltimore, and beyond.

Judge Jones’ insights, historical and legal analysis, observations, and warnings are more relevant now than ever.

“A stunning, inside story of the contemporary struggle for civil rights . . . Essential reading for understanding where we are today―underscoring just how much work is left to be done.”— Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.

“A forthright testimony by a witness to history.” ―Kirkus Reviews
