Synopsis
In the story of immigration to North America, the African experience is unique. Unlike most immigrants, who willingly came to America in search of a better life, Africans were first brought here forcibly aboard European slave ships. This book traces the path of African immigration to North America, from the beginning of the slave trade to African Americans' quest for equal opportunity and fair treatment in the latter part of the 20th century.
