Down the Glory Road Contributions of African Americans in United States History and Culture Book

Meh. So meh that I didn't bother finishing it. Some really interesting information, but the organization of the book wasn't evident - chronological? topical? geographical?
And the footnotes were *really* annoying. I like an occasional aside or deeper explanation, even in "pop" history. But I don't need to be told (on every other page!) that a particular topic is also addressed elsewhere in the book. That just wastes my time and needlessly pulls me away from whatever narrative I was trying to follow.
