The Story of Black America: From Slavery to Civil Rights and the Modern Era includes narratives of fugitive slaves who escaped to Canada, how and why slavery was abolished as well as stories of the people who made a major impact in the civil rights movement. It’s fast-paced with a great original musical score and more importantly – it’s educational without being ‘preachy’!
