Black Af History Signed Edition

From acclaimed columnist and political commentator Michael Harriot, a retelling of American history that corrects the record and showcases the perspectives and experiences of Black Americans. In this volume, Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history. Combining storytelling with research based on primary sources as well as the work of pioneering Black historians, scholars, and journalists, Harriot removes the white sugarcoating from the American story, placing Black people squarely at the center. Harriot speaks hilarious truth to oppressive power, subverting conventional historical narratives with little-known stories about the experiences of Black Americans. From the African Americans who arrived before 1619 to the unenslavable bandit who inspired America's first police force, this long overdue corrective provides a revealing look into our past that is as urgent as it is necessary. --
