This page was created to Teach Black History! Unfortunately, the American Educational System was designed to exclude our real Historical account so we are here to dismantle it! It’s time to enlighten those of us who have been kept in the dark! I am a black man who didn’t know enough about my own history, so I began to dig deeper and do my own research! Black history is American History so I want people of all Races and Cultures to join together to learn our History as one! Here, I will share all of my findings!
