My dear mama got this BOOK for me for CHRISTMAS. ( thats right, CHRIST-mas. Not the ''holidays'' ) Christ is the reason for the season, son, you better RECONIZE! Anyway this book was originally released 35 years ago as a snapshot of African American history, a sort of scrapbook that might have been kept by a black person IF they had lived for 300 years in this country. My father had a original copy and I would always drool over it. I wanted to sneak that badboy out of his house hee hee....anyway, It is an amazing document with all kinds of information, pictures of inventions, notable people, african history, obituaries and pictures of lynchings. Yes some of the imagery is disturbing, but hey THIS is WHAT happened HERE in the US of A. I love it, I cannot put it down. Check the link below if you want to take a peek inside. Till next time, Holla!
