This book features some of the finest essays ever published in the distinguished journal, the Florida Historical Quarterly. With a deft eye for detail, Dr. Irvin D. S. Winsboro has selected path-breaking articles on African American history that are accessible to scholars, students, and general audiences alike. The cast of characters brought to life in this book is truly remarkable: black explorers, renegade slaves, Andrew Jackson, Seminole Indians, Zora Neale Hurston, black WWII veterans, modern civil rights leaders,everyday protestors, victims of white violence, and many others. Florida's Freedom Struggle: The Black Experience From Colonial Time to the New Millennium will guide new generations of readers through the epic odyssey of African Americans in La Florida and, in the process, set a new standard for understanding the proper place of race in Florida's deeply rooted history in North America. -Dr. Paul Ortiz, Associate Professor of History and Director, Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, University of Florida.Collection
