Hi Andrea and all,

I am sorry to respond to this message so late, but I have been swamped by
e-mails...

I want to suggest another book about African-American ancestors even though
Black History Month is over. It is still worth reading and sharing with
students too.

The book is:

Sapelo's People: A Long Walk into Freedom by William S. McFeely
[W W Norton& Company, New York London 1994]

Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Author:
McFeely, William S. Title: Sapelo's people: a long walk into
freedom Subject: 1. Sapelo Island (Ga.)-Historv. 2. Sapelo
Island (Ga.)Civilization. ISBN 0-393-03643-X

W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. 500 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.
Y. 10110

Best,

Sylvie

This is in reply to Tom S's post about Black History month--almost over,
now.

I have in front of me a book, "The Gullah--People and their African
heritage."   Septima   Poinsette Clark was Gullah.   I believe very strongly
in knowing
about folks' background, what groups they came from, and how they   got to
this country. It breeds respect.

If anybody else out there has comparable books to suggest, particularly
about
African-Americans, I would really appreciate hearing about them.

Thanks.

Andrea
