Included in Politics, Civil Rights, and Law in Black Atlanta are approximately two hundred historic images of the people, places, and events that shaped the movement in and around Atlanta from 1870 to 1970. The images are coupled with an informative and engaging text compiled by Atlanta historian Herman "Skip" Mason, Jr., who serves as the Dean of Students at Morris Brown College. Mason was honored with an Outstanding Georgia Citizen Award in 1999 for his work in preserving African-American history. This is his sixth title with Arcadia.
