Freedom on my Mind: A History of African Americans

by Deborah Gray White

Award-winning scholars and veteran teachers Deborah Gray White, Mia Bay, and Waldo E. Martin Jr. have collaborated to create a fresh, innovative new African American history textbook that weaves together narrative and a wealth of carefully selected primary sources. The narrative focuses on the diversity of black experience and culture and the impact of African Americans on the nation as a whole. Every chapter contains two themed sets of written documents and a visual source essay, guiding students through the process of analyzing sources and offering the convenience and value of a "two-in-one" textbook and reader.

One thing that was unacceptable was the pictures within this book. It had European paintings of slavery that doesn't depicit the realities of its trade. The dehumanization, the actions that created generational trauma wasn't expounded upon within these pictures.
