This is the classic history of the African peoples in Africa and the New World, a repudiation of the absurd belief, widely held in the post-Civil War period, that Africans had no civilization but the one foisted upon them by their slave trading captors. Writing for a popular audience in 1915, DuBois, one of America's greatest writers, lays out in easy-to-read, nonacademic prose the striking and illustrious story of the complex history and varied cultures of Africa, from the art and industry of the peoples of the continent to the dramatic impact the slave trade had both in Africa and on her descendents in the Western Hemisphere.

W. E. B. DuBois's history of the black peoples examines how the empires of Ethiopia and the Niger formed, and how black culture developed across Africa and later the United States and Latin America. Ranging across thousands of years of black history, this book is a superb introduction for the student or reader. We hear how black peoples rose from their early origins to become a proud and cultured ethnicity. How the early tribal societies migrated around Africa, and how some of these settled and flourished into civilizations or joined societies such as Egypt, is revealed. DuBois then establishes how the slave trade resulted in many black peoples being taken from their homes after being sold into slavery. The market for black slaves was enormously profitable; yet it was not until the Arab conquests of Africa that the native peoples knew of it. Later, when the Europeans used their shipping routes to create the 'Slave Triangle', the volumes of black slaves dramatically increased. The author ruefully notes that once the British became involved, the importation of slaves grew enormously. The final chapters show how, following the abolition of slavery, black populations made a new life as emancipated, free peoples. Many intermixed in South American societies, and in the Caribbean countries with majority black populations established distinctive cultures and traditions. Placing emphasis upon the difficulties which black peoples encountered, DuBois closes his history by noting the myriad injustices that black Americans still struggle against. Racism and discrimination was rife, and failures for the Reconstruction were blamed solely upon blacks themselves. In concluding, DuBois poignantly notes: "Most men in this world are colored. A belief in humanity means a belief in colored men."

This baseball league that was made up of African American players and run by African American owners ushered in the biggest change in the history of baseball. In America during the early twentieth century, no part was safe from segregation, not even the country's national pastime, baseball. Despite their exodus from the Major Leagues because of the color of their skin, African American men still found a way to participate in the sport they loved. Author Varian Johnson shines a spotlight on the players, coaches, owners, and teams that dominated the Negro Leagues during the 1930s and 40s. Readers will learn about how phenomenal players like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and of course, Jackie Robinson greatly changed the sport of baseball.

Originally published in 1915 written by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963), an American sociologist, the book was acclaimed in its time, widely read, and deeply influential in both the white and black communities, yet this beautifully written history is virtually unknown today. The book is an overview of African-American history, tracing it as far back as the sub-Saharan cultures, including Great Zimbabwe, Ghana and Songhai, as well as covering the history of the slave trade and the history of Africans in the United States and the Caribbean. "Important by any standard."--Kirkus

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was a black civil rights activist, leader, Pan-Africanist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar. He became a naturalized citizen of Ghana in 1963 at the age of 95. "The time has not yet come for a complete history of the Negro peoples. Archaeological research in Africa has just begun, and many sources of information in Arabian, Portuguese, and other tongues are not fully at our command; and, too, it must frankly be confessed, racial prejudice against darker peoples is still too strong in so-called civilized centers for judicial appraisement of the peoples of Africa. Much intensive monographic work in history and science is needed to clear mooted points and quiet the controversialist who mistakes present personal desire for scientific proof. Nevertheless, I have not been able to withstand the temptation to essay such short general statement of the main known facts and their fair interpretation as shall enable the general reader to know as men a sixth or more of the human race. Manifestly so short a story must be mainly conclusions and generalizations with but meager indication of authorities and underlying arguments." - W. E. B. Du Bois
