The first book to document the history of the overlooked TV show "Soul!"
Perspectives
I hope teachers will find ways to incorporate this book into classes on TV, Black Arts and Black Power, and the civil rights movement. Also, this book contains chapters that are useful for teaching black popular music and black queer studies.
