Description: "A people originally brought to North America by force, Americans of African descent have exerted their influence on U.S. history and culture ever since. Atlas of African-American History graphically chronicles important events in African-American history.

It captures the tides of migration that are at the heart of the African-American experience, from the journey out of Africa into enslavement in the Caribbean, Latin America, and the American colonies to the journeys of freedpersons seeking opportunity - and loved ones separated by slavery - in the North and West to the movements of protesters who marched or raged with the eyes of the country upon them.

With 100 black-and-white photographs, 20 color photographs, 67 maps, and 26 line illustrations and graphs, this visually rich volume is the perfect reference for any reader with an interest in African-American history."--BOOK JACKET.
