This
work provides a historical review of the plight of African
American people
in the United States presented by an eyewitness and family
oral history historian
that began with his ancestors in Senegal, and the direct
ties to the oppressive
plantation and Civil Rights history of South Carolina.
In this study, the author spare no weak thinking as he
probes via a semi-auto-
biographical approach, the leagacy of oppression based on
race; the process
of enslavement involving the European Trans Atlantic trade
in human beings;
the politics of the South, the triumph of the Civil Rights
Movement; conflicting
religious beliefs, and the relevancy of modern and ancient
African history to
human history.
