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.

kept me intrigued for the most part

It’s long but a compelling guide that screams of the great achievements of Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parkss, and many others. The topics covered from how the African-Americans were deemed as until the abolishment of slavery have kept me focused all the way.

Haitian Revolution...

I found this a brief synopsis of the Haitian Revolution and a perfect Captivating Guide to African American History. The book is packed with full of very good information on a little known piece of history. Very well laid out , and enough information to give you a good grounding into a small island history.

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.
