Product Review
"The book's creation stands as testament to the lives and contributions of blacks to their community, and to the collaboration possible between people of different races."--www.seacoastonline.com
"Black Portsmouth provides information about a vastly understudied population whose history is an essential part of, and provides essential perspective on, the history of Portsmouth. In the breadth of its coverage, it should lead to more specific and detailed work that fleshes out the histories of both the city and its people."--Historical New Hampshire
"Here, we have a full-bodied cultural history of blacks in Portsmouth . . . I highly recommend it as both a good read and a primary text for all New England history and historians alike."--Portland (ME) Library Newsletter
"This book chronicles the lives of black individuals; from the 17th-and 18th-Century slaves to the 19th- and 20th-Century freemen, they are all contributors to the development of this area. It includes the lives of dock workers, sailors, farm hands, craftsmen and those who built churches, social clubs, mutual aid societies and raised families. It ends with a chapter on current day Portsmouth." --Northern New Hampshire Magazine
Product Review
Kenneth A. Heidelberg, Site Manager, Boston African American National Historic Site : "Rooted in the lives of individuals, Black Portsmouth: Three Centuries of African American Heritage, is a lively story uncovering the buried history of black life in Portsmouth from 1648 until the present. The reader will meet coopers, tailors, mariners, printers, laundresses, dock workers, teachers, preachers and many more whose skills built a black community within the wider city of Portsmouth. Charles Lenox Redmond, Williams Wells Brown, Frederick Douglass are amount the nationally famous visitors remembered in the city. Other names known mostly in Portsmouth include Fowle, Whipple, Bruce and Spring. All are viewed against the background of the greater national history comprehensively recounted by the authors."
