This is the dramatic, exciting, authoritative story of the experiences of African Americans from the time they left Africa to their continued struggle for equality at the end of the twentieth century. Since its original publication in 1947, From Slavery to Freedom has stood as the definitive his-tory of African Americans. Coauthors John Hope Franklin and Alfred A. Moss, Jr., give us a vividly detailed account of the journey of African Americans from their origins in the civilizations of Africa, through their years of slavery in the New World, to the successful struggle for freedom and its aftermath in the West Indies, Latin America, and the United States. This eighth edition has been revised to include expanded coverage of Africa; additional material in every chapter on the history and current situation of African Americans in the United States; new charts, maps, and black-and-white illustrations; and a third four-page color insert. The authors incorporate recent scholarship to examine slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the period between World War I and World War II (including the Harlem Renaissance). From Slavery to Freedom describes the rise of slavery, the interaction of European and African cultures in the New World, and the emergence of a distinct culture and way of life among slaves and free blacks. The authors examine the role of blacks in the nation's wars, the rise of an articulate, restless free black community by the end of the eighteenth century, and the growing resistance to slavery among an expanding segment of the black population. The book deals in considerable detail with the period after slavery, including the arduous struggle for first-class citizenship that has extended into the twentieth century. Many developments in recent African American history are examined, including demographic change; educational efforts; literary and cultural changes; problems in housing, health, juvenile matters, and poverty; the expansion of the black middle class; and the persistence of discrimination in the administration of justice. All who are interested in African Americans' continuing quest for equality will find a wealth of information based on the recent findings of many scholars. Professors Franklin and Moss have captured the tragedies and triumphs, the hurts and joys, the failures and successes, of blacks in a lively and readable volume that remains the most authoritative and comprehensive book of its kind.

The American Negro Academy: Voice of the Talented Tenth

( The first major black American learned society was foun...)

The first major black American learned society was founded on March 5, 1897, in Washington, D.C. This history of the American Negro Academy discusses in detail its leadership, activities, and legacy. W. E. B. Du Bois, William Crogman, and Francis J. Grimké, with the help of Alexander Crummell, the first president, established this society to promote intellectual activity and refute "the Aryan who attacks the Negro by malicious and false accusations." During its thirty-one years of existence (1897--1928), the ANA issued twenty-two Occasional Papers defending black claims to individual, social, and political equality; analyzing black institutional and community life; and discussing the ways Afro-Americans had shaped the history of this country. Until it was discontinued in 1928, the members met annually to present their papers; they also organized historical exhibits and established a small archive for books and other materials. Alfred A. Moss's book is the first scholarly history of any black learned society. He adds important information to what is known about developments in the black community during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, relationships between blacks and whites, and the later organizational and intellectual activity of educated Afro-Americans. "The failures and successes of the academy make clear the many obstacles which confronted members of the black intelligentsia who, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sought to influence the world of ideas and the discussion of major social questions." During its existence, however, many in the group met W. E. B. Du Bois' original challenge that the "Talented Tenth" become an intellectual clearinghouse and strategy center for the race. "Perhaps," concludes Moss, "the real wonder in the history of the ANA is that the organization was able to exist as long as it did."
