A groundbreaking portrait of Black baby boomers navigating a world shaped by both progress and persistent inequality

In the wake of the Civil Rights Movement, a new generation of African Americans came of age with opportunities their parents could scarcely imagine—and expectations to match. In Children of the Dream, Audrey Edwards and Dr. Craig K. Polite deliver a provocative and deeply human work that captures the triumphs, tensions, and evolving realities of striving for success in a rapidly changing America.
