Imperium in Imperio

by Sutton E. Griggs

A secret society of educated Black Americans plots, in considerable and startling detail, an armed uprising against the government that has betrayed its promises to them. Griggs wrote it as a direct challenge to the more accommodating politics fashionable at the time, and it was considered dangerous enough that it struggled to stay in print. I keep it here specifically because someone, somewhere, tried hard to make sure you never got the chance to read it.
