(In capsule form, the author has traced hundreds of black ...)
In capsule form, the author has traced hundreds of black contributions to the progress of America and associated each event with physical locations in each of the fifty states. Here is history that the reader can see and touch, in the monuments, battlefields, and buildings that testify to the contribution of blacks to America. As interesting as this book will be to all Americans, it is especially useful in giving today's blacks the sense of identification with American progress they so richly deserve. They can take pride in the unceasing role that blacks have played in the nation's development from the earliest explorations, through the American Revolution, and right down to Viet Nam. As Senator Brooke says in his preface, these contributions show that "from Lexington and Concord to Dien Bien Phu . . . from Maine to California and Put-in-Bay to New Orleans, Negro and white Americans together have helped to make this nation great."
