Chronicles the most significant events in the African diaspora from the end of the Civil War through the pre-WWI years, with year-by-year entries arranged geographically by continent. For the US, there are additional divisions by categories such as the Labor Movement, the Ku Klux Klan, notable legal cases, the arts, and black enterprise. Emphasis is on positive developments and examples of endurance, intelligence, and hope. Along with subjects customarily covered in texts pertaining to African and African American history, this volume reports on arcane topics such as the Lost Colony of the Confederacy in Brazil, and the 1909 liberation of black eunuches of Seraglio.
