The book begins with the first Africans brought to Jamestown and the start of slavery in the colonies that became the United States.
The USS Arizona Memorial and Boston's Old State House are linked to African American contributions to national defence and racial tensions within the military.
The historical coverage includes slavery, a fatal episode in the Boston Massacre, racial segregation and conflict. You may wish to check in as you read about these subjects together.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
