North Carolina Collection: African American History

This book discusses what life was like to be an African American during the revolutionary time of North Carolina.

"From the Foreword" by Maya Angelou in "Hope and Dignity", Emily Wilson and Susan Mullally have offered some answers to the question of Black survival. Wilson, a good and recognized poet, traveled her adopted State of North Carolina (she is originally from Georgia) talking to older Black women and listening to their responses.

In nineteenth-century America, the belief that blacks and whites could not live in social harmony and political equality in the same country led to a movement to relocate African Americans to Liberia, a West African colony established by the United States government and the American Colonization Society in 1822.

This book is a guide to historical sites and landmarks in North Carolina relating to African American History.
