There Is a River: The Black Struggle for Freedom in America

A great black river surges in opposition to the powerful currents of slavery and racism: This is black history--American history--boldly and triumphantly redefined by Vincent Harding. From an unflinchingly black perspective, Harding writes of the well-known members of the struggle--Nat Turner, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman--and the anonymous as well. 24 pages of photos.
