Atlas of African-American history

the long version

"A people originally brought to North America by force, Americans of African descent have exerted their influence on U.S. history and culture ever since. Atlas of African-American History graphically chronicles important events in African-American history. It captures the tides of migration that are at the heart of the African-American experience, from the journey out of Africa into enslavement in the Caribbean, Latin America, and the American colonies to the journeys of freedpersons seeking opportunity - and loved ones separated by slavery - in the North and West to the movements of protesters who marched or raged with the eyes of the country upon them. With 100 black-and-white photographs, 20 color photographs, 67 maps, and 26 line illustrations and graphs, this visually rich volume is the perfect reference for any reader with an interest in African-American history."--BOOK JACKET.
