By A Customer
I am so thankful Mr. Stewart wrote this book! It is a clear, conscise history that is in turns, overwhelming, sobering and inspiring. Although I was taught some of this in school, it did not have the impact of reading this history in short often 2 paragraph sections. It is a must read for american.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.Excellent reference
By J. Paige
There are many good books of reference on African American history published. However, this one ranks among the best. Well written, user-friendly layout, addressing a broad range of topics, this is recommended for a home or classroom library to teach that all members of a society contribute to its advancement and that our society must be inclusive of all members. Every child can be proud of his or her cultural and historical heritage in a country created by immigrants.
