They Don't Want You
To Know This...
Most schools taught you a version of history with the most important people removed. This book puts them back. 20 Foundational Black American inventors whose ideas you use every single day. Simple, clear, and designed so your whole family actually remembers it.
What Families Are Saying
"What I love about this book is how simple it is. My son loved the pictures. It was a cute blend between serious history and easy to understand info for younger people. Even though this seems to be a kids book, I still learned a lot from it when reading with my son."
"I've read many history books over the years. This one not only taught me about past events I didn't know about, but also showed me why they still matter today. Would definitely recommend it."
"This was a good book me and my son read together that taught us about Black people we never heard before. Took him about 30 minutes to read and had pictures. Highly recommend."

More From Our Readers
"This book was a great read and even better for my son's Black History Month project. It was not only informative but inspirational."
"This book should be at every school across the U.S! I love learning tidbits about items we take for granted everyday AND seeing the major impact of Black Americans. You need this on your shelf!"
"I got this for my young nephew. It's important that Foundational Black Americans teach our children our history. We cannot depend on public schools or society, who try to erase us, to do so. Our history IS American history and we're proud to be Americans."
