    Good quick study, but has mistakes

    For what it is, it isn't bad. Watch for mistakes, however. For example, it lists Jesse Jackson as the first African American to run for president on a major party ticket (1984.) This is not correct; Shirley Chisholm ran as a Democrat in 1972. Didn't make it through the primaries, but she did run. If you need to depend on accuracy rather than looking for a quick general reference that doesn't have to be completely on-target, keep looking.

    A Great Educational Work.

    This is the bible of the African-American timeline from pre-slavery to present. A must-have for any black history class. A++
