A Black Women's History Of The United States

Diana Ramey Berry and Kali Nicole Gross were approached by Beacon Press to write this non-fiction book. Both of these women work at Universities as educators. The history covers the last 400 years. The book is in chronological order. Each chapter is about a segment in history and starts out with a story about a black woman from that era.  The authors challenge stereotypes about black women. Included in the book are artists and free women, slaves and educators, law abiding black woman and other black women who do not obey the law.  I enjoyed this book because sometimes history is so dry and full of facts I get bored. I was definitely not bored by A Black Women's History Of The United States.
