ebooks The Magic Key: The Educational Journey of Mexican Americans from K-12 to College and Beyond (Louann Atkins Temple Women Culture) by From University of Texas Press in History

Description

Against Wind and Tide tells the story of African American’s battle against the American Colonization Society (ACS); founded in 1816 with the intention to return free blacks to its colony Liberia. Although ACS members considered free black colonization in Africa a benevolent enterprise; most black leaders rejected the ACS; fearing that the organization sought forced removal. As Ousmane K. Power-Greene’s story shows; these African American anticolonizationists did not believe Liberia would ever be a true “black American homeland.”
