Book Reviews of African American Lives

Book Review: MUST HAVE for people with serious home libraries
Summary: 5 Stars

Although the internet gives limitless access to all kinds of knowledge and data bases, it's still possible to imagine not having that access. I love books, and I want my books to read when the internet does not function. This is a volume, well researched and well presented. I would like to be able to access this knowledge, if the internet somehow didn't exist into pepetuity, or when the electricity goes out!

African American Lives is a "must have" for people who care about the history of African descended people, and especially if they also maintain personal libraries.
