This history of African Americans in New York City from a Dutch colony to the 1990's contains 18 chapters, documents and maps, Endnotes, a bibliography, and an index. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The reference material supplements many areas of the African American experience in the U.S. Chapter 5 could be used with Anthony Burns or with a text set on the Underground Railroad. Chapter 7 and 8 could contribute to a text set on the Civil War and the economic aftermath of Reconstruction. Learners could select a person of interest to research for a biographical sketch.
