Afro American History
Emiliano
I am italian student of music, and I am currently writing an essay about
jazz. Since I have not shortly tried to study american history, obviously
with a special regard to black history, I had to find books and import them
from America (easily today thanks to the spread of Internet) but I have
usually a lot of question that arouse when I study and that remain often
unanswered. I would like to know if I can sometime bother here to ask you
something...for example I would be very interested in knowning the today's
percentage of Black people state by state in the U.S. Thanks in advance for
who would be so obliging to answer.
