Good and concise but in need of a major update

Although it's a very good "Cliff Notes" version of African-American history, it is still twelve years old; thus, it is in major need of a revision, considering all the monumental changes that have occured in America, let alone the world, since the book's original publication.

Great Resource for Black History

The format is concise, easy to understand, and packed with little-known information on the history of African Americans. This book would be especially great for teachers and educators.
