Excellent compilation

A lot of good information. Something’s I never heard of before. Long read but it was worth it.

A rich and varied history of African Americans

The only thing I didn’t like was that it should have focused more on achievements outside of Sports, music and movies. But it’s worth a read/listen.

Bill Cosby

They mention everyone’s troubles, Michael Vic, R Kelly, and Chris Brown. But nothing about Bill Cosby except for his contribution.
