Description
The Black Experience in America: A Comprehensive History This seminal study by Lerone Bennett (Jr) provides a detailed and engaging account of the black experience in America, from its origins in western Africa to 1961. Bennett's history is infused with a desire to set the record straight about black contributions to the Americas and the powerful Africans of antiquity. The book tells the story of "the other Americans," how they came to America, and what happened to them when they got here. It is a comprehensive and detailed account, providing little-known and often overlooked facts about the lives of black folks through slavery, Reconstruction, America's wars, the Great Depression, and the civil rights movement. The book includes a useful timeline and some fascinating archival images.
