Summary
"A 'choral history' of African Americans covering 400 years of history in the voices of 80 writers, edited by the bestselling, National Book Award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N.

Kendi, director of the Antiracism Institute of American University, and Keisha Blain, editor of The North Star.
