good compilation

A good compilation of what the African-Americans to our history. It’s a good read for us to engage in especially with the racism that’s almost killing them now. This makes me feel proud for them and enabled me to see them in a different light.

Horrible Narration

The information was rich, but the narration was subpar. When the Haitian revolution section started I could literally hear the man yawning and clearing his throat multiple times. So unprofessional.

wonderful educational

I loved it depth history of what you are not going to learn in school

Wow

I only completed the book because I was interested in the content. I was thoroughly annoyed with the sigh, coughing and blatant yawning during this narration. Could these things not be edited out? No one wants to hear this during the narration of a purchased book! I do know who NOT to look for in a narrator.

Summarized accordingly.

An upated version. It’s like I’m watching it from a movie. Every significant events in the black history are summarized accordingly and accurately.

use this

I am using this book to educate my son and grandsons on some of the cultural facets of the Black Experience in America.

An almost brilliant work.

Black History: A Captivating Guide to African American History and the Haitian Revolution by Captivating History is a well-written audiobook! It’s an almost brilliant work. My son needs it as reference and I’ll surely recommend it to him.

It is OK to Pause

Are you telling me that they couldn't do multiple takes? There are times where the narrator yawns, coughs, clears his throat, etc. Could they not edit that out? Other than that this is an excellent book.

Learning new things.

This work by Captivating History’s a neat one. I didn’t get bored while listening to it as the events kept me engrossed until the last page. Not overly wordy. It’s just right.

African American History

Great history book without the political and cultural bias you typically see in books written on such a hot-button issue like slavery. Awe-inspiring, fascinating, beautiful!
