Title: Virginia Books and Authors Author: Staff Reporter Publisher: Virginia Books and Authors Date: 5/31/09 In 1973, Petersburg added to the Virginia history it had long been making by becoming the first city in the state to elect a majority-black City Council in modern times. That distinction, as well as many others, is among the history that Amina Luqman-Dawson recounts in African Americans of Petersburg (128 pages, Arcadia Publishing, $21.99). With scores of archival photographs and informative captions, "African Americans of Petersburg" focuses, of course, on the civil-rights struggle. But there's plenty more, as Luqman-Dawson includes details of black residents' religious and business lives, too. The book is part of the publisher's "Images of America" series, which celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns and cities across the United States.
Synopsis
From the Siege of Petersburg to the struggle for civil rights, the history of Petersburg's African American community is detailed in this volume. The city of Petersburg has distinguished itself as a special place for African American history. African Americans in Petersburg have overcome racial and political obstacles placed in their paths. The city was the site of one of the largest free black populations in the South leading up to the Civil War, and more black soldiers participated in the Siege of Petersburg than in any other Civil War engagement. The city is the location of First Baptist Church, the nation's oldest black church; has produced trailblazers in political life, including Virginia's first black mayor; and is the site of the famous Halifax Triangle, a thriving black business district. This diverse and poignant collection of photographs reveals a heritage rich in entrepreneurial spirit, devotion to church life, and unshakable courage in the struggle for civil rights., The city of Petersburg has distinguished itself as a special place for African American history.

- b***l (454)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI was delighted with this purchase. The discs and case were in new condition, and the price was very reasonable for a 3-DVD set. The quality and appearance were better than described. I was greatly entertained by Patterson's beautiful tenor voice and the lovely Irish scenery, so I repurchased this item as gifts for others.Reply from: europ_17- Feedback replied by seller europ_17.- Feedback replied by seller europ_17.Thank you for the positive feedback—it's greatly appreciated!
