Black AF History By Michael Harriot
About this item
Acclaimed columnist and political commentator Michael Harriott sets the record straight on American history and presents the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans. America's backstory is a whitewashed myth implanted in our collective memory. It is the story of the Mayflower pilgrims who founded a new nation. It is the cherry tree of George Washington and the log cabin of Abraham Lincoln. It is the fantastic story of the slaves who spontaneously teleported to this land with only strong backs and Negro spirituals. It is a sugar-coated legend based almost entirely on a true story. After all, the history books were written by white men and their perspective is front and center. It is even American to downplay and erase the black experience.
