The preeminent historian, scholar and author John Hope Franklin (January 2, 1915 – March 25, 2009) assembled an annotated list of must-reads for people with a serious interest in African American history.
I would also add Dr. Franklin’s From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans (first published in 1947). This book is a staple for African American studies classes.
