The paperback edition continues the Mayflower tradition with new photographs and materials. A major bonus is the extensive use of color photographs. The much-copied "Landmarks and Milestones" section consist of significant dates and events from the fourteenth century to the twenty-first century. The new section is essentially an outline of Black history and is a handy and invaluable reference tool for students, teachers, and readers of all races and colors.
