Praise for this book

Review: The Black Press "Studying this past and understanding how it contributes to present-day dialogues about race and history in America is a critical component of contemporary education...Each volume focuses on one aspect of African American experience and history that has helped shape American society and inform its citizens' attitudes and beliefs about African Americans. Each volume includes black and white illustrations and photos, a relevant chronology, and an index."--Doug's Student Reference Room, June 2008
