There is a river : the Black struggle for freedom in America
"This work is an experiment in history, solidarity, and hope. It is part of a continuing attempt to discover and develop the sources of creative tension among my responsibilities as a historian, my commitment to human liberation, and my urgent determination to keep faith with that magnificent company of witnesses ...A narrative, analytical, and celebrative history of the freedom struggle of Black people in this country, beginning before there was a country ... The first of two volumes, this opens with the slave-ship rebellions off the coast of Africa, and carries the story on to the destruction of the legal institution of slavery in the United States in 1865"--From author's introduction
