Due to the length of time covered in this book, the focus is often broad, and even leaves some gaps. There are places where students would need to do research in order to better understand quick references to things such as Plessy v. Ferguson and Booker T. Washington. However, there are more detailed descriptions of people or particular events, through inserted information. There are several excerpts of Martin Luther King speeches and supporting information for the underlying concepts referred to in the text. While it could be argued that this book jumps too quickly and does not provide detailed enough information on any one topic, I think it is useful in its broadness. This book creates a timeline of events and relates them to one another. So often kids have trouble understanding history because they are not exposed to the slow progression. My fourth graders don't understand that slavery and the Civil Rights Movement were during much different time periods, because they have never been taught history in context. This book has an additional timeline in the back which further allows for an understanding of the progression of history.
I think this would be a good text to read front to back with high school students, but additional materials would be necessary. ( )
