The story of America and African Americans is a story of
hope and inspiration and unwavering courage. But it is also
the story of injustice; of a country divided by law,
education, and wealth; of a people whose struggles and
achievements helped define their country. This is the story
of the men, women, and children who toiled in the hot sun
picking cotton for their masters; it’s about the America
ripped in two by Jim Crow laws; it’s about the brothers and
sisters of all colors who rallied against those who would
dare bar a child from an education. It’s a story of
discrimination and broken promises, determination and triumphs. Kadir Nelson, one of this generation’s most accomplished,
award-winning artists, has created an epic yet intimate
introduction to the history of America and African
Americans, from colonial days through the civil rights
movement. Written in the voice of an “Everywoman,” an
unnamed narrator whose forebears came to this country on
slave ships and who lived to cast her vote for the first
African American president, heart and soul touches on some
of the great transformative events and small victories of
that history. This inspiring book demonstrates that in
gaining their freedom and equal rights, African Americans
helped our country achieve its promise of liberty and
justice—the true heart and soul of our nation.
