Unauthorized
Undoubtedly a first-rate piece of research and journalism, but a hard slog if you're not intimately familiar with the minutiae of labor relations, conflicting unions, and day-to-day civil rights events. Also, not written for maximum narrative snap. Maybe I can get a bit more context after I've read Taylor Branch's civil rights trilogy.

Rubio argues that militant African Americans in the post office fought for livable wages, full collective bargaining rights for their union, and other labor and civil rights. Rubio portrays black postal workers in the United States as leaders in the community of workers fighting for labor and racial equality, pushing their way into post office unions, as well as leaders within the black community, assisting with communication between the black middle and working classes.
