Hornsby provides an historical overview of Americans of African descent over the last 400 years. He focuses on the people, places, and events that have had a major impact on African-American life, beginning with Estevanico, a black explorer who left Spain in 1527 to explore the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and concluding with such current events as Douglas Wilder's victory as the first elected black governor in US history.
