great book for trivia and interesting info

i lent this book to my african-american history instructor (who is straight) 6 months ago and i can't get it back! he picks it up and reads parts of it all the time, james baldwin on the cover caught his interest, and he is learning history to teach that he was never taught. lots of historical info here.
