Black Rage tells of the insidious effects of the heritage of slavery; describes love, marriage,
and the family; addresses the sexual myths and fears of blacks and whites; chronicles how the
schools fail the black child; examines mental illness among black people and the psychic stresses
engendered by discrimination; and, finally, focuses on the miasma of racial hatred that envelops this country,
why it exists, and what will surely happen if it is not soon dispelled
