"Focusing on New Orleans from 1940 to 1960, Dr. Thompson traces the social origins of Negro leaders. He show the varied influences which have formed the leadership class- family background, professional opportunity, economic environment, and education. Unusual in its frankness, this report takes the reader behind the scenes. It offers an unvarnished picture of the conflicting forces which face the Negro leader, not only from the outside, but also from within his own society"--Back cover.
