Pan-African Chronology II: A Comprehensive Reference to the Black Quest for Freedom in Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia, 1865-1915

In 1996, the first volume of the Pan-African Chronologywas written. It is
an excellent, useful reference work,
according to Library Journal, and covers the period from 1400 through the end of the American Civil War. This continuation volume covers the most significant events in the African diaspora from the end of the Civil War through the pre-World War I years. This was a time of great change for black Americans–Reconstruction, the founding of the NAACP, the formation of the separate but equal doctrine, and the migration of blacks from the rural South to Northern cities. The eradication of slavery as a legalized institution was finally realized in the Americas, while the struggle to end it in Asia was also taking place. European colonialism in Africa was accelerated, ironically coinciding with humanitarian efforts to end the slave trade on the African continent. These events and many others are covered here.
