Slavery and the African American Story - Race To The Truth Series (Paperback)

Regular price £8.00

by Patricia Williams Dockery

Description

Until now, you've only heard one side of the story: how slavery began, and how America split itself in two to end it. Here's the true story of America from the African American perspective.
.
From the moment Africans were first brought to the shores of the United States, they had a hand in shaping the country. Their labor created a strong economy, built our halls of government, and defined American society in profound ways. And though the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't signed until 300 years after the first Africans arrived, the fight for freedom started the moment they set foot on American soil.
.
This book contains the true narrative of the first 300 years of Africans in America: the struggles, the heroes, and the untold stories that are left out of textbooks. If you want to learn the truth about African American history in this country, start here.
.
NOTE: Race to the Truth is the Young Readers Series from Regina Jackson and Saira Rao, the authors of White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better.
