Black Firsts: 4,000 Ground-Breaking and Pioneering Historical Events by Jesse Carney Smith
A testament to a rich but often overlooked part of history, this work
captures the stories of barrier-breaking African American pioneers in
all fields—arts, entertainment, business, civil rights, education,
government, invention, journalism, religion, science, sports, and more.
With hundreds of illustrations and a daily calendar of firsts, this
chronicle reveals stories of those who overcame adversity to emerge
triumphant and celebrates those who have won personal victories against
the forces arrayed against them. A vital collection of more than 4,000
entries, this book is proof that the celebration of African American
accomplishments is ongoing.
