Through Random House Children's, Crown Books for Young Readers, and Netgalley, I am reviewing Slavery and the African American Story:

So far, you've only heard one side of the story: how slavery began, and how America split into two to end it. From the perspective of an African American, here is the true story of America.

As soon as Africans arrived in the United States, they began to shape the country. Their labor created a strong economy, built our halls of government, and shaped American society forever. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was not signed until 300 years after the first Africans arrived, the fight for freedom began as soon as they stepped foot on American soil. 

This book tells the true story of the first 300 years of African Americans in America: the struggles, the heroes, and the untold stories that were left out of textbooks. Start here to learn the truth about African American history in the United States.

I give Slavery and the African American Story five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
