| Summary/Abstract |
Atlas of African-American History graphically chronicles important events in African-American history. It captures the tides of migration that are at the heart of the African-American experience, from the journey out of Africa into enslavement in the Caribbean, Latin America, and the American colonies to the journeys of freedpersons seeking opportunity - and loved ones separated by slavery - in the North and West to the movements of protesters who marched or raged with the eyes of the country upon them.
