Fascinating first-person accounts and photos.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an excellent resouce for African American history, well-organized, concise, extensive and enlightening. It begins with a history of Africa, a definite plus. Each chapter starts off with an overview of a time period, all in chronological order, followed by fascinating first-person accounts. Facing the first page of most chapters is a family photo from that time period -it's interesting to see the progression. Not all photos are sharply printed but all reveal truths in telling and immediate ways. Events and dates are personalized in word and picture, what better way can there be to experience history?
