A "must" introduction to significant African American events and people in Massachusetts where so much American history began. The first slaves arrived in Boston in 1638; the first Black gave his life in the Boston Massacre. Entries are dramatic bullet-style cameos set off by more than 100 photographs. Arranged chronologically within a dozen categories--Science, Religion, Government, Creative Arts, among them--the elegantly designed paperback offers instant identification of names and invites follow up research--a catalyst "to find out more." Among the entries: a high school student wins 10 dollars in gold for her essay on the "Evils of Intemperance"; a physician fights for the right to deliver babies at the city hospital; Blacks unite in protest against the film "Birth of a Nation"; a Boston mechanic invents a diving suit and a dentist invents a golf tee.
