Readings for African-American History

One day I will make a list of all the books I have throughout the house, but not today on history, especially African-American history and policies. African-American history can be found in lots of writing. It depends on what you are searching for that will guide your reading. Here is a just a few books I found in thrift shops of authors, stories, history and jokes involving the African American community:

Bibles

World's Great Men of Color J.A. Roger Volume II

Three Negro Classics: Up from Slavery, Booker T. Washington; The Souls of Black Folk, William E.B. Dubois; and The AutoBiography of an Ex-Colored Man, James Weldon Johnson

Go Tell it on the Mountain, James Baldwin

A History of the Atlantic Slave Trade Black Cargoes, Daniel P. Mannix

Why Should White Guys have all the Fun, Reginald F. Lewis & Blair S. Walker

The United States Constitution

Indiana Constitutions

The Official Black Folks Joke Book Larry Wilde

African-American History narrative is not just for African-American History Month, African-American History Month, is the restrictive time period in which discourse can occur to say that America citizens are more inclusive.

It is suggested that to discuss the achievement of African-Americans or to point out prominent African-Americans in America is to ghettoize America's History. When it fact the tracing of history will lead some families into learning their cousins or other relatives may not just be one shade of color As I teach tracing your family tree many family are surprised that folks with their same names maybe long lost relatives.
