Summary

By the last decades of the 1800s, America's first wholly black folk music-the blues-was being born all across the South. The Blues: Birth of an American Sound tells the story of the blues from the early call-and-response songs of enslaved workers to today's vibrant blues scene. The most highly recognized series on African Americans celebrates Black History Month all year long! Journey to Freedom: The African American Library provides fascinating information on the heroic stories of African Americans who have played leading roles in shaping world history. Packed with vintage photographs that bring both the subjects' frustrations and victories to life, this highly acclaimed collection honestly portrays African American people and events that have forever impacted our society
