(ILLUSTRATED, PAPERBACK)
Condoleezza Rice was the first African American woman appointed Secretary of State... Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie were the first African Americans to win Grammy awards... An African American doctor performed the first open-heart surgery...
Excluded from history books, overlooked in classrooms, and neglected by media, African Americans have long been denied an accurate picture of their contributions to our nation, from colonial days to the present. But times have changed and the record will be set straight. From the inventors of the traffic light and the gas mask to winners of the Oscars and Olympic gold, this authoritative resource reveals over 450 "firsts" by African Americans—wonderful accomplishments achieved often despite poverty, discrimination, and racism.
Leaders in government, entertainment, education, science and medicine, the law, military, and in the business world, African Americans have made their mark. African American Firsts is a clear reflection of that prideful legacy, and a signpost to an even greater future.
"African American Firsts works, works well, and works brilliantly." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"For browsing or serious queries on great achievements by blacks in America." —Booklist
"Fascinating...an excellent source for browsing and for locating facts that are hard to find elsewhere." —School Library Journal
"Reveals African American history as Potter had never been taught inpredominantly white schools." —Publishers Weekly
"I recommend this book, a tool with innumerable possibilities which will help individuals understand...the contributions and inventions of African Americans."—The late Dr. Betty Shabazz
