Black AF History: The Un-whitewashed

Story of America

Michael Harriot
Harper Collins
2023

First, this guy can write. Not a dry academic para in the whole thing. Even though there are lots of dates and names.

Second, this book is what magat bans are all about. Truth wrapped in stories and wit.

Third, plus recipes.

Highly recommend.

Mr H basically made a grass roots social media campaign awhile ago that directly forced the DA to put Bill Cosby on trial. Just speaking for Mr H being outspoken for justice.

It's about having other books already lined up to read that have a higher priority for me right now. I don't have room for that one in the near future.
