I am excited to be on the finishing end of this book and start to send out ARC copies.
If you are familiar with the Black History Fun Fact Friday series, this book is that series in book form, only much more polished and with more information.
Beyond that series, what inspired the book?
We are particularly familiar with the names of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston. These outstanding leaders had a lasting impression on Black Americans’ history.
But two questions stick out:
- How much do we really know about them?
- What are some names and histories of other leading Black people and events we are unfamiliar with.
I am looking for:
- Black / African American readers passionate about Black history
- Readers of any ethnicity who love Black history
- History buffs in general
- Readers willing to leave an Amazon review of the book when it releases
