This is a wonderful book that highlights the lesser-known achievers rather than treading the tired old path of only showing all the important figures everyone already knows about. That’s the thing that makes this book special. Achievements by black men despite that the adversity and oppression were vast and wide ranging.
This is the most important step in breaking down the effects of generational trauma and negative media portal that effect the confidence and self-image of young men of colour today.
A vitally important book for young children. Combat the bias before it has a chance to set in stone, it’s the only way forward.
