Black History for Beginners

De: Denise Dennis

Narrado por: Janina Edwards

What is Black history? Did you know what Blacks were in Cortez's crew in Mexico, with Pizarro in Peru and Alvarado in Quito...that when Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean, 30 Black people were with him...that when Alarcon and Coronado conquered Mexico, Black people were with them, too?

Any misunderstandings between Blacks and Whites in today's society tend to stem from the misconceptions about Blacks that have been allowed to thrive throughout the ages. The only way to help abolish stereotypes is to help present a more complete picture of the Black people throughout history. Black History for Beginners covers a rich but often ignored history and chronicles the Black struggle from capture and enslavement in Africa through the civil rights movement and up to today and the new and different kinds of struggles that Black people face today.

Quick and easy to follow

This book is quick and easy to follow. I was thrown off a couple of times by the choice of words the author decided to use when describing the Black Panthers, but other than that, I like the book.

Needs better promotion

This is the kind of book people want to silence. You have so much to gain.
10/10 would recommend.

Very informative

Great information with fantastic voice narration. Very broad and sweeping knowledge for every era. Good read

Excellent!

Wonderful introduction to black American History. I felt that some sections could have used more fleshing out, but this lived up to its name as a beginning look into black history and the history of America.
