Perfect for middle-grade readers! Black history is a robust and multifaceted chapter in world history that is often watered down.

Learn about little-known facets, events, and figureheads from Black history, including: Vicente Guerrero, the first Black North American president One Marie Judge and her escape to freedom from George Washington Dr. Carter G. Woodson and the real reason he created Black History Month The history of the “dap” and its roots in African tradition Mansa Musa and his travels throughout the continent of Africa And many more exciting stories! Written by an expert educator highly experienced in historical analysis and diversity, Resistance Stores from Black History for Kids is the ultimate lesson in Black history that will empower and inspire the youth through its retellings of the stories often left by the wayside.
