Who was the Black woman who fought side by side with men during the Revolutionary War?. Who was the slave who pastored an inter-racial church of over 2000 members?. And who was our first Black U.S. congressman-who also had full presidential powers during the President’s absense and the vice-President’s illness?These and many other snapshots, along with essays and bibliographies, can be found in Snapshots In AMERICAN Black History!
