Bound For America: The Forced Migration of Africans to the New World

"Bound For America," is one of the most complete and inspiring books that I have read. I am using it at the presence in completing a thesis. It serves as a poignant reminder of the soul of a people and the resilience of anyone of African descent. It also gives,with historical accuracy, important information as to the contributions of Africans and African Americans to the New World and the entire World.
