Description
Change everything you thought you knew about history and the people who have shaped it with Black History for Every Day of the Year. By historian and broadcaster David Olusoga and his siblings, Yinka and Kemi, this anthology tells the far-reaching story of Black history. Did you know that Aretha Franklin was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? And that a Black woman discovered the cure for leprosy? Or did you know that the first accounts of a Black Samurai in Japan date back almost 500 years ago? Packed with quotes, poems, illustrations and pictures, Black History for Every Day of the Year gives you new insights about well known figures and inspirational unsung heroes. With stories of hope, connection and creativity, alongside tales of racism, resistance and celebration - from the nineteenth century anti-slavery movement, to World Wars I and II, to the Harlem Renaissance, Stormzy, Simone Biles and beyond. Discover something new every day in this brilliant gift for readers of all ages.
