His essays and speeches often helped set the agenda. They also continue to offer a prophetic voice in our struggle to create a more humane and fully integrated America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Shame of Southern Politics\u003c\/i\u003e gathers for the first time fourteen of Dunbar's essays and speeches on the courage and values of the southern civil rights movement. Dunbar's selected writings, ranging from the classic 1961 essay \"The Annealing of the South\" to a post-September 11th meditation, give eloquent voice to the best of America's liberal tradition. A new essay entitled \"1968\" offers Dunbar's unique take on that transformational year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLeslie Dunbar\u003c\/b\u003e is the author and editor of \u003ci\u003eA Republic of Equals, Minority Report, The Common Interest, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eReclaiming Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eDan T.
