Description
The Black Book by Middleton A. Harris, Ernest Smith, Morris Levitt, and Roger Furman is a comprehensive collection of images and documents that tell the story of the black experience in America from 1619 to the 1940s. This new edition features the original cover restored, offering an encyclopedic look at this pivotal period in American history. The book includes seventeenth-century sketches of Africans, nineteenth-century slave auction notices, twentieth-century sheet music for work songs and freedom chants, photographs of war heroes, regal in uniform, and more. With nearly five hundred images and documents compiled by Middleton A. Harris and Toni Morrison, The Black Book remains a powerful testament to the strength and perseverance of black men and women intent on freedom.
