Geared to the young and people wanting to know more about the black heritage. A fascinating survey of the contributions of blacks to American society.Excellent book for the kids and adults alike.

This 2nd edition is a good African-American history/cultural reference for anyone, regardless of ethnic/racial heritage. The book met almost all of my expectations. Only a few subjects/persons I sought information on were omitted.

This tome is fine for any home, school, or public library. A useful compendium and summary of black USA history. Not perfect, but highly recommended.

I wish I had this book when I was in grammar school. It was just a huge relief to open the package. I'm reading this thing like it's the best novel in the world and I've never been a history fan. If it wasn't English, it wasn't me but I'm reading about a new person once a day everyday trying to learn all the things that I didn't get to learn in grammar school, high school,and the first college I went to.

Product was in near perfect condition and shipping was extremely quick. Thanks for the wonderful service!

Purchased for our grandson, who is absolutely jumping for joy in learning so much history.

This is the first book that I have read with so many African-Americans described in it. I showed it to my son and he was amazed that so many African-American contributions were listed. He had not heard of most of the people in the book and was confused. My godfather leafed through the book and asked where I had gotten it from. I ordered him one for himself so he could read it at his leisure. He was so happy to receive the book that he started reading it immediately. This is an excellent book for everyone.
