From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans by John Hope Franklin, Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham

5.0

this amazing book guided me through my coursework at school on whether Black people or the government contributed the most towards legal change for Black Americans from 1865 to 1964. without this book i would never have done my coursework on such a high level. it covers everything from ancient times to Obama’s presidency, is very academic, has lots of additional resources and references and is reliable. if i could, i would give this book 6 out of 5 stars for how helpful and accessible it is.
