Summary

This two-volume set teaches students about the early days of the slave trade and the contributions made by Africans--both free and enslaved--to the greatest moments of American history. Students will learn about the fight against slavery, the laws that made African Americans less than equal even after slavery was abolished, and the continuing struggle for civil rights. The volumes also cover the many remarkable African-American achievements in science, the arts, business, and popular culture.
