| 520 | |a "This sweeping survey of Black history shows how Black humanity has been erased and how its recovery can save the humanity of us all. Using history as a foundation, The Humanity Archive uses storytelling techniques to make history come alive and uncover the truth behind America's whitewashed history. This book focuses on the overlooked narratives in the pages of the past. Challenging dominant perspectives, author Jermaine Fowler goes outside the textbooks to find recognizably human stories, connecting current issues with the heroic struggles of those who have come before us and bringing hidden history to light. We find ourselves in a time when America's education systems are changing but also continuing to disappoint us. As a result, the onus of learning our history has become an individual pursuit, which is why books like The Humanity Archive are needed more than ever. Reading its pages will allow us to witness stories previously hidden and obscured from our view and allow us to be changed by them." -- Back cover. | ||
