From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans

About the resource

Since its first edition in 1947, this textbook has inserted the black experience squarely into American history―a narrative that previously denied black contribution or dismissed its importance. Updated with an ever-growing mountain of scholarship on African Americans.
