Story
This book covers many questions about how we as a country got to Black American racism. As I found more and more answers, I realized how many of them were totally new to me and how I felt that I had been so deceived about so much of our history. After talking to many people, Black and white, I knew that it wasn't just me who had been deceived. There is so much that has been done to Black Americans over the ages, not just slavery, that I felt everyone could understand better if various truths were revealed.

Story
El Rapto del Sol de Baldomero Lillo es un cuento que profundiza en la vida de los mineros en Chile durante finales del siglo XIX. Retrata las duras condiciones laborales, la explotación y las luchas que enfrentan los mineros y sus familias. La narrativa sigue a un grupo de mineros mientras navegan por las peligrosas minas, luchando por la supervivencia y la dignidad en medio de circunstancias opresivas. A través de descripciones vívidas y narraciones conmovedoras, Lillo arroja luz sobre las injusticias sociales y las disparidades económicas que prevalecían en las comunidades mineras de la época.
