BARTLETT'S FAMILIAR BLACK
QUOTATIONS paints a rich canvas of Black history through
time. Five thousand quotes are culled from the time of
Ancient Egypt through American slavery, Jim Crow, the Civil
Rights Era, Apartheid, to the present day. With a foreword
by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and passages from authors,
artists, scientists, philosophers, theologians, activists,
politicians, and many others, BARTLETT'S FAMILIAR BLACK
QUOTATIONS will appeal not only to quote aficionados and
researchers, but also to history buffs. Aesop's Fables and
the Holy Bible are in the same company as Nelson Mandela and
President Obama; Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison; Bob Marley
and Jay-Z. A wonderful reference tool and gift, BARTLETT'S
FAMILIAR BLACK QUOTATIONS is sure to follow in the footsteps
of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, becoming a beloved
authority.
