Freedom on My Mind (High School) by Deborah Gray White; Mia Bay; Waldo E. Martin Jr. - Third Edition, 2022 from Macmillan Student Store

Written by three leading historians of African American history and available in multiple print and digital formats, Freedom on My Mind is the best choice for instructors who want an authoritative text that encourages students to think critically and analytically about African American history and the historical realities behind the American dream. The narrative examines African American’s quest for freedom as the central theme and situates that quest in the context of American history. Document Projects at the end of each chapter offer students a deeper experience with historical figures as well as an introduction to how historians use primary sources.

Features

  • Narrative history with primary sources.
  • Broad perspective that demonstrates the link between African American history and US history.
  • Titled chapter-opening vignettes highlight the lives and experiences of both famous and not-so-famous African Americans.
  • A comprehensive list of Historically Black Colleges and Universities provides students with a catalog of Black Higher Education Institutions founded from 1865 through the end of the twentieth century.

New to This Edition

  • New and extensively revised chapters. A new chapter 1 is dedicated to "African Origins: Beginnings to ca. 1600 CE," while chapter 2 is now entirely focused on the transatlantic slave trade.The 1915-1940 period is now covered in two chapters, allowing for expanded coverage of cultural, social, and political developments during this period. Chapter 17 on the contemporary period has been extensively revised to reflect the many significant trends and events of the past two decades, including the Trump presidency. 
  • New scholarship throughout. Every chapter has been updated to reflect the latest scholarship, from details on slavery in colonial New England, to updated statistics on the magnitude of racial terror lynching, to new insights into mass incarceration in the contemporary period. 
  • Three new Document Projects—"Imagining Africa" in chapter 1, "The Harlem/New Negro Renaissance" in chapter 12, and "All Africa’s Children" on contemporary black immigrants in chapter 16—allow students to practice "doing" history with fresh and engaging themes. In addition to these entirely new Document Projects, there are new textual and visual sources within existing Document Projects, such as an interview with Ona Judge, addresses from Reconstruction-era political conventions, and the lyrics from Nina Simone’s "Mississippi Goddam."
"I love everything about this book. It offers a comprehensive history of African Americans that is student-friendly: well-organized, excellent coverage, in a thematic, highly-readable format, supported by a robust selection of excellent primary sources. Through these primary source readings, students are better able to develop a connection with the material and form a deeper understanding, rather than just know or memorize that something happened."
— Richard A. Buckelew, Bethune-Cookman University.

"Freedom on My Mind shines a much needed light on the centuries-long efforts of black people to define themselves, record their triumphs and tragedies, and celebrate their heritage…What I like most about this book is how the authors have gone out of their way to find images, documents, maps, graphs, etc., that are unusual or seldom seen."
— Marilyn Howard, Columbus State Community College
