This book is for young people who’ve ever wondered where black culture really comes from… important events and people in Black History.

There is age old advice that we should know ourselves. Equally, to know our Nation, we should know its history.

Black History is American History. The story of African Americans has been woven into the story of the United States since the beginning days of the colonies right up to today. Everyone should know, at least, some Black History, otherwise you are missing out on part of the fundamental truth of America.

African Americans should be particularly interested in Black History. Within the pages of the past can be found role models, heroes and courage; seminal events that changed history; and the patience and perseverance to do one’s own great deeds.

Each chapter in this book introduces particular men and women, as well as specific events, that influenced the course of Black History. Of course, these highlights are but the tip of the historical iceberg, but their significance demanded inclusion.

Additionally, the reader will find an original poem that reflects the content of each respective chapter, written especially for this book.

Get ready to learn more about your country and yourself.
