The African American Center has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau

The African American Center was founded in 1990, and is currently located in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia. We have consistently focused on publishing the highest quality library books that detail the experiences and accomplishments of African Americans.

Over the years, we have worked with other publishers such as Gale Cengage (on The Reference Library of Black America), and Oxford University Press (on The Encyclopedia of African American History). Our new titles are released approximately every 5 to 10 years, and contain the most up-to-date information available anywhere.

We are pleased to introduce our latest work, The Complete Encyclopedia of African American History, a superb 4-volume series that is completely updated with all new information for 2019. This title is designed for circulation, in order to increase usage, and also includes a free eBook with unlimited access.
