Excellent reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
Concise, Informative , Readable, Captivating

The author states in his introduction that this book is not to be viewed as a text book, but rather to be used as supplement. It's a rather comprehensive supplement with captivating text! This book is organized in easy reading segments that are all numbered 1 thru 1001 & also divided within 6 Parts (Sports, Culture and Religion. . .). I feel as if the author is talking with me personally. History boring? I don't think so with this book! I plan to use this book with homeschooling as well as "homeschooling" myself! Can't wait to learn more of what I missed in school!

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.
