About the Book
A behind-the-headlines look at the continuing fight for Black rights and representation
Book Synopsis
Many important moments in history have not been taught in schools or explored in the mainstream media. These events often include people of color and involve Black history. This "whitewashing" of history, intentional or not, puts all Americans at a disadvantage. Learn about Black history moments that shaped America, from the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Virginia in 1619 to the Freedom Summer of 1964, and read about efforts to reshape how we teach Black history in schools in the 21st century.
