HEROES OF EARLY AMERICA

The stories of the first black people in America were poorly recorded and often ignored. For every person we know about, there are dozens of faceless people who helped build our country. Perhaps you have wondered where to go to learn more - wonder no longer! This issue of FOOTSTEPS is just waiting to introduce you to such courageous and forward-thinking people as Anthony Johnson, Francisco Menendez, Jupiter Hammon, Harry (not George!) Washington, Peter Salem - and many, many more. But that's not all - there's an original play about Phillis Wheatley, the facts about blacks in new Amsterdam (present-day New York), and African Americans fighting worldwide to keep the U .S. free. Join us for a issue that you won't want to put down until you have read it cover to cover.
