You'll follow the road to freedom beginning with the slave trade and the middle passage through the abolitionist movement and the Civil War where many African Americans fought as soldiers. You'll learn how slave songs often contained hidden messages and how a 15-year-old Jamaican-born young man named Clive Campbell helped to create hip-hop in the early 1970's. You'll experience the passionate speeches, marches, and movements of the Civil Rights era along with and the sacrifices of Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, and many others.Along the way there are dozens of profiles of political trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm, the first black women elected to Congress in 1968; dominants athletes like Tiger Woods who, in 1995, was only the second African American to play in a Master's Golf Tournament which he went on to win in 1997; popular musicians like Miles Davis, one the most influential artists of the twentieth century; and inspiring writers like Toni Morrison, the first African American to win the Nobel Prize in literature.Filled with beautiful illustrations that bring these figures and events to life, plus a removable historical timeline, A Child's Introduction to African American History is a fascinating and comprehensive guide to this often overlooked yet immensely important part of American history. **A Playaway is an audiobook device that is about the size of a small deck of playing cards. It only requires one (1) AAA battery to play and headphones or ear buds to listen to the Playaway audiobook. The Playaway device is light, compact and there are no CDs, cassettes, downloads or subscriptions needed to make the Playaway work. Similar to almost any CD player, the Playaway device allows for the volume to be adjusted, chapter selection and skipping ahead in a chapter as well using the buttons on the Playaway device. The Playaway device also has a digital display that indicates information such as the chapter, time played or remaining in each chapter and the battery power level. Thank you.** |
