A book that gives a clear and concise history of African American. A format that gives teh reader a chance to pick up the releavnt information on a big subject. The review points at the end of every chapter help to remind the reader of the relevant points before moving on to the next chapter. The book in divided sensibly into broad chapters that allow any student trying to refresh their knowledge a real chance to organise their studies.

A must read for anyone who wants to learn about contribution
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Melba J. Duncan's new book is a must read for anyone interested in American history. Too often, books about the history of Africans in America fail to mention the significant contributions of Africans. In spite of great hardships, Africans propelled forward with such remarkable spirit; this book highlights those achievements. Melba Duncan looks at where we came from, where we are, and most importantly, where we are going and focuses on the importance of education, entrepreneurship, and strategy. I highly recommend this book to all!
