African American Experience

The African American Experience: The American Mosaic provides a comprehensive survey of African American history and its heartbreaking struggles, major movements - political, social, artistic, and literary - and most notable events and legislative reform. Featuring articles and essays from African American authors and contributors, it gives voice to the experience of African Americans from their arrival in the Americas through to the present day, including the influence of the black community on popular culture and the aspirations of African Americans as expressed, for example, through the campaign of hope on which Barack Obama ran in 2008.
