Black American history / by Ronda Racha Penrice.

Summary:

The historical and cultural contributions of Black Americans run deep-- but what you learned in school wasn't the whole story! Penrice explores how their resilience through slavery and Jim Crow fuels the ongoing fight against systemic racism and social injustice. Within each chapter, sidebars and icons guide to information that is special and important, or that can help you delve deeper into the subject on your own.-- Adapted from back cover and Introduction.
