Good But Slow Going! submitted by sdunav on June 27, 2016, 6:27pm If you have high tolerance for academic jargon, this is an interesting read. It's all about American slavery, racism, and miscegenation, and how (very) much European ancestry most modern African-Americans have. If you like "Finding Your Roots" you might also enjoy this.
