The Black Chronicle
Authentic News Articles
From Slave Ships to Civil Rights

About the Book
The Black Chronicle is a compilation of news articles from historical editions of African American newspapers dating from 1778 to 1956,  which detail the triumphant evolution of people of African ancestry in America.  Compiled by the late Henry Hampton, Executive Producer of the award winning PBS documentary, "Eyes on the Prize," the Black Chronicle was culled from articles of over two dozen African-American newspapers. 

Why is the Black Chronicle important for every family to have in their home?

The Black Chronicle provides a most revealing and insightful panorama of the events that shaped the African-American experience from our cultural perspective.  These absorbing stories -- much like our own personal family stories -- illuminate what has often been a hole in our collective experience and the truth regarding our origins.

Great for Black History Month classes and discussions!
