Talking Animals
By Wilfrid Dyson Hambly
W.E.B. Du Bois
By David Levering Lewis
General Harriet Tubman
By Earl Conrad
A collection of short
stories for children,
Talking Animals was
first published in 1949
and has been in
demand ever since.  
Now available through
The Associated
Publishers, this book
will entertain young
ones for hours with
tales such as "Tortoise
and Hare in Love with
Squirrel" and "How
Baboon Lost His Tail."
Written by a white, Jewish
male in 1943,
General Harriet
Tubman
was published by Dr.
Carter G. Woodson because
the white publishers claimed
that "there was no interest in
such a subject" as slavery.  
This books stands as a
testament to the power of
multiculturalism and is a
must-read for those interested
in the history of the abolitionist
movement.
"In this final magisterial volume, fifteen years in
the research and writing, David Levering
Lewis stunningly re-creates the second half of
W.E.B. Du Bois's charged and brilliant
career.  Beginning with the return of World
War I African-American veterans to the riots
and lynchings of the "Red Summer" of 1919
and ending with Du Bois's self-imposed exile
and death in Ghana forty-four years later,
Lewis charts the dramatic evolution of the
premier architect of the civil rights movement
and of the movement itself."

From Slavery to Freedom
By Dr. John Hope Franklin
John Hope Franklin's
classic textbook, From
Slavery to Freedom,
provides an
all-encompassing view of
the black experience in
America from the
seventeenth century to the
present. A favorite of
professors, students, and

for six decades, few books
have had a greater impact
on shaping how Americans
think about the history of
African Americans.
