(Author) Deborah WillisTWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION The acclaimed collection of Black photography, now featuring more than one hundred photographs from twenty-first-century artists, fundamentally redefines our understanding of American history.

Taken together, Willis's magnificent gathering of images accompanied by her powerful narrative overturns many common ideas about black life during the last century and a half, and in so doing rewrites American history."--Robin D. G. Kelley, from the Foreword
