Our Review

This essential volume brings to light pivotal moments in Black American history that have been systematically excluded from mainstream narratives, covering everything from the delayed emancipation of Juneteenth to the violent destruction of the Greenwood District in the Tulsa Race Massacre. Amanda Jackson Green meticulously documents these erased events, providing a crucial counter-narrative that challenges the incomplete story often presented in textbooks and media. The book serves as both a revelation and a correction, offering clear, accessible accounts of historical injustices that have shaped the present.

What makes this work particularly powerful is its focus on how these suppressed events are actively remembered and honored within Black communities today, creating a vital link between past struggles and contemporary identity. Teen readers and young adults seeking to understand the full scope of American history will find this an indispensable resource that fills critical gaps in their education. This isn't just a history lessonβ€”it's an invitation to participate in the preservation of truth and the ongoing fight for historical accountability.
