Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America

The dominant narrative of American history often presents a sanitized version, overlooking the profound experiences and contributions of Black Americans. This perspective, shaped by historical oversights and the viewpoints of its authors, has led to a collective memory that is incomplete and inaccurate.

This corrective history offers a more accurate and complete understanding of the nation's past. By centering the perspectives of Black Americans, it reveals untold stories and challenges conventional historical accounts. This approach provides a richer, more nuanced view of the American journey, acknowledging the integral role of Black people throughout its development.

Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot serves as this essential bridge. Drawing on meticulous research and primary sources, Harriot employs Provocative Storytelling to dismantle the whitewashed mythology. This work is a vital piece of Cultural History, presenting an Un-Whitewashed account that places Black Americans at the heart of the American narrative. It is recognized as a New York Times Bestseller and an NAACP Image Award Nominee.
