A Great Book with Barack Obama
Barack Obama and Higher Ground
Imagine. Before there was Black History Month, there was Negro History Week, founded 100 years ago in 1926 by the scholar and historian Carter G. Woodson. Just one week to acknowledge, learn, and celebrate the history of a people, their struggles, talents, and wins. And then, poof! It was all over. A rich and powerful history put back on the shelf until the next year. In 1976, Negro History Week became Black History Month. At Audible, we are proud celebrants of Black creators and their stories all year long, and you’re invited, 365. Black creators take us places we need to go, with stories, both real and imagined, that come from the heart. We proudly invite you to enjoy their spoken words with us, today and every day. —Yvonne Durant, Audible Editor
