Description:
Using census, military, court, and vital records, along with newspapers, biographies, histories, and personal interviews, the author has constructed a vivid account of African-American community life over 250 years. Through these pages move soldiers of the Revolution, black abolitionists and farmers, physicians and porters, ministers and barbers, social justice advocates and suffragists, as well as artists, musicians and athletes. The ancestors of these families came to New England from the South, from the West Indies, and from Canada, and in this century their descendants have settled in all regions of the country.
