Gives the legal history of racism deeply rooted in the law and the social culture if this country. Documents how in spite of these systemic barriers the African Americans made progress. E. Dorian Gadsden was born in Charleston, South Carolina during the era of racial segregation and discrimination by law. He became the first black Eagle Scout in the Coastal Carolina Council; and the Youth Council of the NAACP. He served two years in the seamen branch of the segregated navy during World War II. He graduated from Central State University and Howard University Law School. With a keen interest in Civil Rights, he moved to DC, and participated in the "March on Washington" in 1963. He was an attorney for the Department of Labor, a Hearing Examiner in the District of Columbia's Department of Public Welfare and an Administrative Law Judge for the Social Security Administration. In 1973, he received a Special Recognition Award for outstanding service to the Washington Metropolitan Community. In 1989, he published Progress Against the Tide, a meticulously researched book detailing the operational effects of slavery, segregation and discrimination on African Americans in the United States. In 1995, he retired from the federal government and continued to lecture at several historically black colleges and universities, African-American history events and at the Federal Legal Institute in Washington, DC. With a combination of thorough scholarship and in-depth interpretation, Gadsden analyzes with a critical eye and discussed the changing economy and occupations in the United States, the sources of the growing education and cultural disparity between black males and females, and how it is affecting black male-female relates in companionship, romance, and marriage. A brilliant and fascinating saga of the human spirit. Progress against the Tide is an important, meaningful addition to the history of humankind.
