The History Books Forgot to Say... We Were More Than Enslaved

History has never just been about what happened. It’s about what’s been told—and, more importantly, what’s been left out. The History Books Forgot to Say... We Were More Than Enslaved explores Black history by uncovering powerful stories of brilliance, resistance, and achievement across centuries. 

Divided into five transformative sections, this 25-chapter journey includes a glossary and resource page goes far beyond slavery and civil rights to highlight the innovation, resistance, and global contributions of Black people across history.

What readers will learn:

• How U.S. education has misrepresented Black history—and the lasting psychological effects of that miseducation
• The vibrant cultures of Africa before colonization, from governance and trade to art, religion, and family
• Hidden histories of inventors, scientists, artists, and scholars whose contributions have shaped modern life
• Powerful resistance movements, spiritual leadership, and cultural rebellion that fueled Black liberation
• The revolutionary power of Black joy, global diasporic connections, and communities that thrived despite oppression

From ancient African empires to the hidden geniuses of Black innovation, this book shines a light on the chapters that were left out of traditional curricula. It also ends with a call to action: to unlearn what was incomplete and reclaim a deeper, more balanced historical truth.

Whether you're an educator looking to expand your teaching tools, a parent seeking empowering resources, or a curious reader ready to deepen your understanding—this is the book history forgot, but your heart has been waiting for.

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.
