Black Vignettes: Essays in African American History & Culture - Paperback

by Rosalynn Shropshire-West (Author)

There are books written solely for enlightenment, and there are books written solely for entertainment. The reader will find Black Vignettes: Essays of African American History and Culture to be a seamless blending of both. It is a delightfully eclectic mix of people, places, events, occurrences and culturally significant topics not found in ordinary United States history books. But all that is contained herein has a substantial importance to black history and culture. Few of the essays contained in Black Vignettes are very long. The brevity of the essays and variety of topics found within these pages will engross even the most severe cases of attention deficit disorder.
