"African American Connecticut Explored is an ambitious and important book that covers the broad arc of Connecticut's African American history from the colonial era through the mid-twentieth century. This is a welcomed addition to early African Americana."--Erica Armstrong Dunbar, associate professor of black American studies and history, University of Delaware " African American Connecticut Explored is an ambitious and important book that covers the broad arc of Connecticut's African American history from the colonial era through the mid-twentieth century. This is a welcomed addition to early African Americana."--Erica Armstrong Dunbar, associate professor of black American studies and history, University of Delaware "This is the first publication that brings the entire arc of Connecticut African American history together in a single volume based on serious scholarship and a comprehensive, social history-oriented perspective. It is a rich compendium of information and insight."--Jeremy Brecher, former humanities scholar-in-residence at Connecticut Public Broadcasting, "This foundational volume of fifty-four essays written by a wealth of Connecticut scholars has great utility and skillfully pulls together the disjoined history of Blacks in the Nutmeg State...Strengths of the book include the attention it gives to Black women and common folks who impacted the state, the diversity of the authors ranging from professors and curators to reporters, and the profoundly informative articles like those of Katherine J. Harris, Stacey Close, and Yohuru Williams... In all, the book is a much-welcomed addition to the historical treatments by scholars William Dillon Pierson, Robert Austin Warner, and Lorenzo J Greene and sets an example to other state journals and institutions of what necessity ad collaboration can achieve."--Dann J Broyld, Connecticut History Review "African American Connecticut Explored is an ambitious and important book that covers the broad arc of Connecticut's African American history from the colonial era through the mid-twentieth century.

Synopsis
Winner of the Connecticut League of Historic Organization Award of Merit (2015) The numerous essays by many of the state's leading historians in African American Connecticut Explored document an array of subjects beginning from the earliest years of the state's colonization around 1630 and continuing well into the 20th century. The voice of Connecticut's African Americans rings clear through topics such as the Black Governors of Connecticut, nationally prominent black abolitionists like the reverends Amos Beman and James Pennington, the African American community's response to the Amistad trial, the letters of Joseph O. Cross of the 29th Regiment of Colored Volunteers in the Civil War, and the Civil Rights work of baseball great Jackie Robinson (a twenty-year resident of Stamford), to name a few. Insightful introductions to each section explore broader issues faced by the state's African American residents as they struggled for full rights as citizens. This book represents the collaborative effort of Connecticut Explored and the Amistad Center for Art & Culture, with support from the State Historic Preservation Office and Connecticut's Freedom Trail. It will be a valuable guide for anyone interested in this fascinating area of Connecticut's history. Contributors include Billie M. Anthony, Christopher Baker, Whitney Bayers, Barbara Beeching, Andra Chantim, Stacey K. Close, Jessica Colebrook, Christopher Collier, Hildegard Cummings, Barbara Donahue, Mary M.

- u***u (725)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- 9***n (325)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
