I honestly havent read the book but it looks interesting so once i read it I can answer your question
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. was an
activist that left his mark in Congress for being a crusader of the civil
rights of African Americans. He had his own confrontational approach towards
racial discrimination that was controversial to most men in Congress. He was
outspoken and regarded as an irritant by many of his colleagues because of his
persuasive attitude.
