The black experience in America, from its origins in Western Africa to 1961, is thoroughly examined in this seminal study by a prominent African American figure. It covers the entire historical timeline of African Americans, from the Colonial period to the civil rights upheavals of the late 1950s. This work originated from a series of articles published in Ebony magazine, highlighting the trials and triumphs of a group of Americans whose roots in the nation run deeper than those of the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower. The author aims to correct the historical narrative regarding black contributions to America and the powerful legacy of ancient Africans. While not a completely new history, it synthesizes current research with a lively writing style, making it both accessible and engaging. The audiobook discusses the contributions of Africans to the ancient world and details the experiences of other Americans, including their arrival and subsequent challenges. It offers a comprehensive account filled with little-known facts about the lives of black individuals through slavery, Reconstruction, America's wars, the Great Depression, and the civil rights movement. Listening Length: 11 hours and 42 minutes.
