Saratoga’s Black Heritage: A Guidebook

From the publisher:

The essays in this collection attest to the constant presence of African Americans in the region that became Saratoga County in 1791.

“Individuals who cast doubt on the centuries-long presence and impact of African Americans in Saratoga should read these stories: for they will learn of the myriad ways in which Blacks helped the create the history of this region.” —Winston Grady-Willis, Quadracci Chair in Social Responsibility Professor and Director of Black Studies, Skidmore College
