Book excerpt: "The subject of They Left Their Mark is part of the 'silent memory'. The book presents conversations surrounding an event that is lost to time's progression. The nation historic recall stops at the Civil Rights movement of 1955 to 1964. It is common practice to site this era when African Americans got the right to vote and other social liberties. Documented events, debates and records pushed that stop point to 1870. Deborah Lowe Wright challenges the reader to understand the history and legacy of African American in the United States. They Left Their Mark encourages the reader to join those of the near and distant past to win the fight for equality."--Back cover
