These exceptional essays illustrating the critical role that race and African American culture played in forming American culture are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand America.” James Oliver Horton, George Washington University Book Description A Companion to African American History contains state-of-art essays arranged thematically and topically within eight broad chronological periods.
