Book Guide

Black history does not begin with slavery.

Are you struggling to create a well-balanced Black history program? Do you regret how little you know about the African continent and the history of its descendants?

Leila Amos Pendleton, a community activist and teacher, felt the same way in the early twentieth century. She felt that if young White children were being taught to love the land of their "kinfolk," then young Black children should be taught about African history so they could take pride in where they came from, too.

Years later, this rich resource is available with information about ancient African civilizations, natural resources and geography of Africa, the history of slavery and the African diaspora, Caribbean and South American Black history, and American Black history into the early 20th century. Information in early 20th century America includes a full chapter on the differing opinions, but the common end goals, of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois.
