KHALIL GIBRAN MUHAMMAD, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"Riveting ... Freedman tells a surprising and rare history of Black and Jewish Americans fighting against racism and antisemitism, often side by side, in a Northern city before the civil rights era. His brilliant profiles of these local heroes are gripping and, in many ways, the spine of the book ... Freedman gives us a dramatic retelling of the backdoor dealings at the convention over the language of a civil rights plank."
ARAM GOUDSOUZIAN, THE WASHINGTON POST
"Appealing ... Freedman offers an intimate and fine-grained depiction of Humphrey's early life and fledgling political career, as well as a revealing portrait of Minneapolis, a city of both gut-wrenching racism and creative civil rights initiatives ... Mining an archival trove of personal letters, Freedman renders Humphrey as a torn young man ... Weaves in the stories of two of Humphrey's allies."
