I absolutely love this book! I don't recommend it for elementary, but definitely for middle school and high school, with some modifications at the middle school level. I happen to find my book at a garage sale and was delighted and bewildered at their loss. I couldn't understand why any family of African descent would get rid of this book. It gives a much more accurate perception of the events that took place in OUR history than that of the school curriccullum. Every citizen, and those wanting to become citizens, need to know the truth. It is AMERICA'S history.

A rare American treasure that every American should own.

This book is one of America's greatest treasures!!! It has been a part of my household ever since I was a young girl. No American, black, white, or otherwise should be without this book and the knowledge of its contents. This book is an accurate depiction of how far we as African-Americans have come and, hopefully, an insight as to where we as an American culture are going. This book should never have gone out of print! I recommend that this book be used as a textbook in all elementary school, middle school, high school, and college history courses! America as a whole will never be able to mend the wounds if we do not learn about each other, acknowledge one another, learn to understand one another, and teach each other how to heal all of our wounds and correct the wrongs of the past. Ignorance is not an istinct or a natural trait, it is a parasitic sore that is handed down from generation to generation.

A haunting yet true account of the horrors of Black hatred

This book is an accurate account of the horrors and stereotypes that surrounded Diaspora Africans in America. It is my hope that every African American read this bok, and treasure it as I have.
