Immigration And Slavery In Native Son By Richard Wright

Richard Wright writes the book Native Son, in the first person point of view of a 20-year-old African American boy, who goes by the name Bigger Thomas.

Europeans began to explore the region at the beginning of the 16th century--among the first was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian who sailed up and down the Atlantic coast in search of a route to Asia--but none settled there until 1624.
