Dr. Conseula Francis Reading Circle Virtual Discussion on "Black AF History" by Michael Harriot Online
Join us via Zoom as we "retry" our discussion on Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot. (This book was originally scheduled as the June selection).
“America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It is the story of the pilgrims on the Mayflower building a new nation…It is the fantastic tale of slaves that spontaneously teleported themselves here with nothing but strong backs and negro spirituals. It is a sugarcoated legend based on an almost true story...
In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history. Combining unapologetically provocative storytelling with meticulous 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."
Please Note: Our discussion will focus on four (4) chapters in this book. Shortly after you pre-register, you will receive the chapter titles via email.
