Excerpt from the book: History isn’t just what’s written—it’s what’s remembered. And for far too long, the story of Black people has been trimmed, filtered, and rewritten to fit a narrative built on oppression. In classrooms, on television, and in public memory, Blackness is too often introduced with slavery—as if we had no identity before captivity, no brilliance beyond struggle, and no power outside protest. This book exists to correct that insult.
