In 1903, when white settlement worker Mary White Ovington was 38, she had no sense that there was a 'racial problem' in the United States. Six years later, she, W.E.B. DuBois, and fifty others founded the NAACP. Their goals included ending racial discrimination and segregation, and achieving full civil and legal rights for AfricanAmericansa dream that is still alive today, along with the organization they founded.Ovington's candid memoir reveals a corageous woman who defied the social restrictions placed on women of her generation, race, and class, and became part of an inner circle that made the decisions for the NAACP in its first forty years. Her actions often brought unwelcome notorietyas when lurid newspaper headlines announced her attendance at a biracial dinner in 1908yet she continued working sidebyside with such colleagues as DuBois, James Wheldon Johnson, and Walter White, and began travelling across the country to help establish NAACP chapters in the Deep South, the Midwest, and California.Serialized in the Baltimore AfroAmerican newspaper in 1932 and 1933, Ovington's memoirs are here available for the first time in book form. Black and White Sat Down Together offers an insider's view of a seminal phase in the struggle for civil rights, and a moving encounter with a woman who was hailed in her time as a 'fighting saint.'
