February is Black History Month, an occasion to commemorate the Civil Rights movement. Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s Life Upon These Stores chronicles the most important figures and events, both famous and overlooked, in African-American history. This comprehensive volume begins before the first shipment of slaves to America and ends with America's first black president. Reading Life Upon These Shores will help to place King and his accomplishments in the broader spectrum, thus making the day all the more relevant.
