Sick of Schools Forgetting The Really Important People?

This is one of those books you MUST read. Don't let a traditional education turn you into a comsumer zombie. Learn about YOUR history and herstory! The PEOPLE'S HISTORY. NOT THE CORPORATION'S HISTORY! NOT THE RICH WHITE MAN'S HISTORY! There are more important people out there than ever were revealed to you in public or catholic schools, Hector.

Great For Bio Lovers!
