The Story Of The African-american People Is The Story Of The Settlement And Growth Of America Itself, A Universal Tale That All People Should Experience.

The Western Stereotype Of Africa And Its Black Citizens As Devoid Of Reason And, Therefore, Subhuman Was Often Shared By White Master And Black Ex-slave Alike.

Like The Amazing Story Of Anthony Johnson. This Man Was A Slave, Then Became Free, Accumulated 250 Acres, And Even Had His Own Slave, A Black Man Who Took Him To Court In Virginia In 1654.that Man Argued That He Should Be Freed Like An Indentured Servant. But Johnson, Who We Believe Was A Pure African From Angola, Said, "no Way, You're My Slave." And The Court Agreed.

Wherever You Go In The History Of America, There Have Been Black People Making Contributions, But Their Contributions Have Been Obscured, Lost, Buried.
