Ray Charles and the Birth of Soul

African-American history is significant and integral to the larger history of the United States. Emboldening this dynamic, the Lucent Library of Black History Places important topics in context so that readers will understand the connection between black history and the sweep of America's story. This high-quality series focuses on both broad movements like Civil Rights, as well as more narrowly defined events such as the Tuskegee Study.
