From the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in New Amsterdam in 1609 to the Harlem Renaissance to the impact of #BLM, Black Legacy is a concise and newly updated history of Black Americans in New York for readers 12 and up. Black Legacy reasserts the essential work of teacher and historian William Loren Katz, who was committed to documenting and uplifting the stories of Black Americans’ courage and creativity, resilience and rebellion, especially for younger readers. A new introduction gives context to Katz's “full tableau of Black accomplishments and aspirations,” and a new chapter brings the book up to the present day, considering the changing economic, cultural and political influences on Black New Yorkers.
