Book Description
In Earth's early history, humanity grew in numbers and quickly spread across the lands subduing everything before them even the great dinosaurs. With increasing imagination of the arts and the shaping of stone, they built great cities of magnificent splendor. Influenced by evil spirits, they slowly they forgot their maker and fell into wicked desires. Mastering the forging of steel and the making of great weapons of war, they gathered into armies and conquered with war. As stories turned to legend, one sword rose to infamy. Said to be forged by the hand of God, many believed it gave the wielder great victories and a chance for immortality.

Book Description
Monumental in scope and vividly detailed, Chocolate City tells the tumultuous, four-century story of race and democracy in our nation's capital. Emblematic of the ongoing tensions between America's expansive democratic promises and its enduring racial realities, Washington often has served as a national battleground for contentious issues, including slavery, segregation, civil rights, the drug war, and gentrification. But D.C. is more than just a seat of government, and authors Chris Myers Asch and George Derek Musgrove also highlight the city's rich history of local activism as Washingtonians of all races have struggled to make their voices heard in an undemocratic city where residents lack full political rights. Tracing D.C.'s massive transformations--from a sparsely inhabited plantation society into a diverse metropolis, from a center of the slave trade to the nation's first black-majority city, from "Chocolate City" to "Latte City--Asch and Musgrove offer an engaging narrative peppered with unforgettable characters, a history of deep racial division but also one of hope, resilience, and interracial cooperation.
