From the award-winning author of Breaking the Chains and Black Indians comes a complete history of Black Americans in New York State.
Chronological, with photos throughout, and with new contributions by Herb Boyd, here is an essential book for teachers, librarians and young readers.
From the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in New Amsterdam in 1609 to the Harlem Renaissance to the first Black mayor of New York City to the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, here is the complete and newly updated history of Black Americans in New York. First published in 1997, 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. In his new introduction, Herb Boyd, who also adds material bringing the book up to the present day, writes that Katz's oeuvre, "represents the full tableau of Black accomplishments and aspirations."
Here are the Black politicians and poets, abolitionists, athletes and activists, the first Black children to attend public school, the journalists who covered their stories, and those like Paul Robeson, W.E.B. DuBois, Frederick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and others who fought for Black freedom. Sojourner Truth, Madame C.J. Walker, the growth of the Seneca Village and Weeksville communities, the Savoy and Cotton clubs of the Jazz Age; the near death of Martin Luther King Jr. at Harlem Hospital, the discovery of an African burial site at Trinity Church in lower Manhattan, Shirley Chisholm's election to Congress, and so much more can be discovered in these pages.
Written with economy and flair, and including historical maps, illustrations, and photographs throughout, Black Legacy is a fascinating read, a necessary teaching tool, and a great addition to the literature of the history of Black America.

Autoren-Porträt von William Loren Katz
William Loren Katz (1927-2019) was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Greenwich Village in a progressive family dedicated to social justice. After serving in WWII and attending college on the GI Bill, he became a teacher in New York for many years. The author of more than 40 books, many for younger readers, he documented the often overlooked contributions of black and indigenous people through history. Through his scholarship and educational outreach, he helped to refashion social studies curriculums across the country, encouraging the histories of minorities and women to be part of American history courses rather than siloed into their own fields of study. In one of his best-known books, Black Indians, he wrote, "I have been humbled by the awesome task of rejecting bias. I have never sought bland neutrality and have consoled myself that unbiased history has yet to be written."Herb Boyd is a journalist, activist, and teacher who has written or edited 22 books, including Black Detroit, an NAACP 2017 Image Award Finalist and 2018 Michigan Notable Books honoree
and Civil Rights: Yesterday & Today. His book Baldwin's Harlem, a biography of James Baldwin, was a finalist for a 2009 NAACP Image Award, and his anthology Brotherman: The Odyssey of Black Men in America, co-edited with Robert Allen, was a recipient of a 1995 American Book Award. His books We Shall Overcome, Autobiography of a People and The Harlem Reader have been adopted into classrooms around the country. He has written for many publications including the Amsterdam News, Cineaste, and The Black Scholar. Among the highlights of his journalistic career was an invitation to fly on Air Force One with President Obama, whom he has interviewed on several occasions. Boyd lives and works in Harlem, New York City.
