Black History Hidden Stories
100 True Stories of Forgotten Black Inventors, Pioneers and Heroes Who Shaped America, With Surprising Facts for Black History Month, Classrooms and Curious ReadersBy Imad Muratspahic
Length4h 10m
About this audiobook
Most of us learn a handful of names. This book introduces a hundred more: inventors who fought for credit, scientists and doctors who built careers behind closed doors, soldiers, jockeys, pilots and cowboys, bankers and builders, lawyers, teachers and organizers whose work changed how Americans live, travel, heal, learn and vote. Black History Hidden Stories collects 100 true stories of Black Americans whose inventions, courage and achievements shaped the country but rarely fill the pages of a textbook. Each story runs about 300 words and ends with a surprising fact, so you can read one on a lunch break or ten on a Sunday. Unlike a broad overview of Black history or a book of the most famous biographies, this collection favors lesser-known figures, explains the era each person lived in, corrects popular myths where the record is clearer than the legend, and marks uncertain details as uncertain. It suits adults and teenagers, classrooms, book clubs and Black History Month reading. Inside, you'll learn: Every name, date and claim was checked against reliable sources, and the people in these pages are all real.
