From the Publisher
The history of African-Americans is marked both by struggle and freedom, pain and joy. It is an epic tale spanning the centuries--yet it is simply the story of a family legacy.
In No Easy Walk: The Dramatic Journey of African-Americans, Harry Williams chronicles this long, difficult and courageous journey through history. Writing in engaging prose, he traces black Americans’ ancestral origins in Africa, describes days of slavery and emancipation, and retells the heartaches and triumphs of the civil rights era. Throughout he gives special emphasis to the role of the black church.
This accessible introduction to black history is ideal reading for African-American History Month. Here are valuable lessons and insights for students, parents and readers of any ethnicity.
Harry Williams, raised in Asbury Park, New Jersey, is a student at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary and an associate minister at Second Baptist Church Cathedral in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
"No Easy Walk is just what is needed--a Christian primer on African and African-American history that will be useful to both black and white Christians. Written in an engaging style, this book will be hard for most readers to put down!" Craig S. Keener, coauthor, Black Man’s Religion and Defending Black Faith
