Informative

This a wonderful resource of information. I am sharing it with my son to let him learn the history of Afro-Ameicans. Thank you for rearching the information and sharing it with others.

A must Read Book For All Americans

The Black History and the many contributions by Black Americans have not been shared with our American students. I was very surprised to know how little our children know about their own heritage.Needless to say other Americans no nothing about the Black American contributions to the USA. This book I trust will correct some of this ignorance. I am a product of St. Louis, Missouri in the 30, 40, and 50 time frame when schools were segregated consequentrly the black teachers taught us a much as they had available to them. This book gives a great, great deal more knowledge. There is more that he can, and I hope will write as he does more research. I feel this book should be in all schools and libraries in these United States. We have been terribly overlooked and left out of the history of the USA. This book will enlighten a lot of folk.Kudo's to the author.

afromation 366 days of american history

When I first encountered this book "Afromation 366 Days of American History", I embrased it as if it where a new born child. The presence and aura I felt reasured me this book was unlike any other of its kind. I found this book disguarded and immediately secured it in my possession for further viewing. Once alone I discovered my thoughts were immensely true, a diamond in the rough, as I was often told. This book expressed the feelings and aspirations of generations of americans that in some way had been forgotten, ignored,misrepresented but was finaly given a new oppertunity to live.The information and research that took place to create such a masterpiece is of a divine nature and should be shared by all! I am pleased to know that such a book exist and embelish fact that its available for all to endure. Sincerely, David M. Wright

Afromation: 366 Days of American History

First of all, I would like to start off by saying that I met Mr. Woods and I find him very knowledgeable about African American history. I purchased the book and I read about a different person everyday. Although, I would consider myself very knowledgeable when discussing African American history. I often find that there is so much that I did not know when reading this book. I view this book as a study aid. What I really like is that on each person he provides references which allows anyone to research the information for themselves. He also divides the book into occupations which is also handy. There is also historical facts at the botton of each page. I think that Mr. Woods did a wonderful job with this piece. Anyone building a library must have this book or who just loves history.
