Syracuse African Americans abounds with hard work; forbearance; determination; strength; and spirit. It depicts through photographs the heritage of this upstate New York African American community. The story spans several centuries; beginning when escaped slaves made salt here and sold it to the Native Americans. Once a hotbed of abolitionism; Syracuse was the site of a protest against the Fugitive Slave Law. Later; as the city became a manufacturing center; its black population increased.

The house was built in 1912. and the photo was taken in 1927. It was exciting to see how our house looked back then. I find history fascinating in general. but particularly the history of the community we now call home. The photos and information in this book are outstanding. I highly recommend it!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Alabama historyBy SatchiCExcellent documentation of historical events and people from Chambers County.
