Outstanding Resource for history and current issues of Blacks
for anyone wanting to understand the basics of Black History, especially now that some states are trying to suppress it, this is a great resource. Narrative with lots of pictures, lifts up the story of the continent of Africa and its kingdoms, facts about slavery and reconstruction/Jim Crow and into the modern era Civil Rights. Great resource for children, youth and adults.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
