A dancer in the revolution : Stretch Johnson, Harlem communist at the Cotton Club
Howard Eugene Johnson (Author), Wendy Johnson (Author)
The life of Howard Johnson, nicknamed ""Stretch"" because of his height (6'5""), epitomizes the cultural and political odyssey of a generation of African Americans who transformed the United States from a closed society to a multiracial democracy. Johnson's long-awaited memoir traces his path from firstborn of a multiclass/multiethnic"" family in New Jersey to dancer in Harlem's Cotton Club to communist youth leader and, later, professor of Black studies. A Dancer in the Revolution is a powerful statement about Black resilience and triumph amid subtle and explicit racism in the United States
