Description

This richly illustrated reference traces African-American history from the forced removal of Africans and the era of slavery through emancipation, migration, and the continuing struggle for equality. Maps, photographs, illustrations, and graphs reveal how movement—across continents, between regions, and through mass protests—shaped the lives, communities, and influence of African Americans in the United States. Alongside major events and turning points, the book highlights themes of resilience, identity, freedom, cultural contribution, and social change. Clear and visually accessible, it offers an engaging geographic perspective on a central story in American history.
