Letters from Black America: Intimate Portraits of the African American Experience

The first-ever narrative history of African Americans told through their own letters

Letters from Black America fills a literary and historical void by presenting the spectrum of African American experience in the most intimate way possible--through the heartfelt correspondence of those who lived through monumental changes and pivotal events, from the American Revolution to the war in Iraq, from slavery to the election of Obama.
