Even with all the attendant publicity of how transforming an experience it was for our president to achieve his office, this famed account is remarkable.

John Hope Franklin was a most amazing man. I requested this book at the library after learning of his connection to Nashville's Fisk University and after his recent death.

His mission as a historian was not to simply compile historical events but to bring forth the history of the people who lived through those historical events and to give a voice to their experiences.

A very good, and very accessible, survey of black history in the US. I really recommend this for beginners (like me) in understanding black American history.
