Most of the material you will hear at this time is not and was not taught in school. Only in the last twenty years has much of this information has come to light by hard working researchers who, like myself, have spent thousands of hours digging out the facts from diverse sources. The usual class room teachings acknowledge slavery only in a general way moving on to the Civil War, dwelling only a moment on the Reconstruction's initial success and then its failure. We then skip to World War Two forgetting eighty years worth of struggle during the great migrations north for work and finding more disappointment trying to improve their lives. The story of Elgin's African American Community begins in West Africa, then to the New World in the seventeenth century, then to the fledgling United States of 1700's, to the Northwest Territory of 1793, to Illinois, to Kane County, and at last to Elgin.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • PEN/FAULKER AWARD WINNER • The acclaimed author of The Swimmers and When the Emperor Was Divine tells the story of a group of young women brought from Japan to San Francisco as “picture brides” a century ago in this "understated masterpiece ... that unfolds with great emotional power" (San Francisco Chronicle). In eight unforgettable sections, The Buddha in the Attic traces the extraordinary lives of these women, from their arduous journeys by boat, to their arrival in San Francisco and their tremulous first nights as new wives; from their experiences raising children who would later reject their culture and language, to the deracinating arrival of war. Julie Otsuka has written a spellbinding novel about identity and loyalty, and what it means to be an American in uncertain times.

At the age of thirty-three, Ekow Eshun—born in London to African-born parents—travels to Ghana in search of his roots. He goes from Accra, Ghana’s cosmopolitan capital city, to the storied slave forts of Elmina, and on to the historic warrior kingdom of Asante. During his journey, Eshun uncovers a long-held secret about his lineage that will compel him to question everything he knows about himself and where he comes from. From the London suburbs of his childhood to the twenty-first century African metropolis, Eshun’s is a moving chronicle of one man’s search for home, and of the pleasures and pitfalls of fashioning an identity in these vibrant contemporary worlds.
