When Toni Morrison was a senior editor at Random House, she worked with four prominent collectors of black memorabilia to develop this extraordinary "scrapbook" of more than five hundred images detailing the rich cultural and social history of African Americans-from the era of the transatlantic slave trade through the start of the Civil Rights movement.

Now, as the nation marks the four hundredth anniversary of the first enslaved Africans' arrival on these shores, The Black Book returns to print in hardcover, featuring the original jacket design.
