Discusses Black history on the social, political, economic, and cultural fronts and includes over 1,000 pictures.

This now classic work was the pioneering book in the popular history of Blackamericans. It appeared in 1956, on the eve of the civil rights upheaval, and immediately became the most widely used book in connection with that struggle. It has been, ever since, the standard work in black history for both adults and young readers. It is also the first book in black history to make extensive use of graphics, offering to readers almost 1,200 extraordinary pictures together with solidly researched and carefully written text of considerable length.
