Summary

"Black Americans have played an invaluable role in creating our great nation in myriad ways, including their physical labor, their military and political service, their social activism, and their innovation and achievement in music, art, religion, sports, and entertainment. The chapters extend chronologically from the colonial period to the present. Each chapter presents a timeline of African American history in the state, a historical overview, notable African Americans and their pioneering accomplishments, and state-specific traditions or activities."--P. [4] of cover
