'Maine's Visible Black History' is a remarkable achievement, vividlybringing to life hundreds of years of Maine's long obscured AfricanAmerican history! From the earliest days of pre-colonial settlement,Black Mainers have helped forge and build a New England commonwealth.They struggled through slavery and freedom, discrimination andliberation, to create and maintain families, communities, andinstitutions, from Maine's coastal islands to inland mill towns andlogging centers. Meticulously researched, infused with rich personal andcommunity oral stories, 'Maine's Visible Black History' will surpriseand delight its readers. This book has reclaimed a history in danger ofbeing lost forever and shares with us Maine's African American citizens'rightful place in the fabric of the state's long history., A Remarkableachievement, Poignant, Endowed with the Kind of Intuitive Storytelling Thatcaptivates., 'Maine's Visible History' marks a new stage in the history of African Americans in Maine and the United States. It is a lavishly illustrated tapestry of personal reminiscences, local, state, and national history that makes us reconsider what we thought we knew. It brings together professional and local historians, genealogists and storytellers, participants and narrators in an accessible, fascinating, and groundbreaking way. African Amerian history has always been about black populations large enough that black people could form institutions to affect their relationships with the prevailing community. In Maine the black population was so small that blacks could only form micro versions of those institutions to protect themselves from the assaults of the dominant society. Their perserverance in the face of the tremendous odds against them is not only a testament to the human spirit but provides examples that allow us to see how these institutions were formed. 'Maine's Visible Black History' is a grassroots account of African American individuals and small black communites building the institutions that enabled them to carve out lives and get a tiny piece of the promise of America., 'Maine's Visible History' marks a new stage in the history of AfricanAmericans in Maine and the United States.
