This book was a nice short popular nonfiction book about black people in DC and environs. This book is organized by location as opposed to by time or something, which took me a little while to get into. Some of the history is a little simplistic. Nonetheless, this was a really interesting book that highlighted lots of places with African American history connections, most of which I knew nothing about.

I think this would be a good book to as a guidebook to lesser-known sites in the DC area. Actually, a great use of this book would be to give it to a high school kid, have them read about the various sites, and then take them to those sites.
