| Description: |
Hope (1868-1936) was the first African-American president of Morehouse College and Atlanta University, and after the Civil War made a lifelong commitment to black rights. This study examines the conflict inherent in Hope's attempt to balance his joint roles as college president and national leader. |
| Synopsis: |
In this definitive biography, historian Leroy Davis examines the conflict inherent in John Hope's attempt to balance his joint roles as college president and national leader. The story of Hope's life illuminates many complexities that vexed African American leaders in a free but segregated society and created what Mordecai Johnson, Howard University's first African American president, called a "clashing of the soul." |
