This book is comprised of documents, and historical accounts of black history all the way from biblical references to the concept of being black as a curse, to Nat Turner, to Malcom X and black separatism. It's a very easy read, and starts off primarily offering background into the documents, and then later discussing the implications of them. There are some instances in the book where the reader could misconstrue the writing to be biased and injust, but in all honesty, the book was written in 1968, and I think the retrospect afforded by this fact justifies this. Overall this was a very well written, and important book in black history, and I only wish it was continued on, as history is a continual process.
