First Edition of this scarce schoolbook. "This is a history book about us. It is about a history that has been denied us by lies about what we are and what we have been." A painfully vivid and lavishly illustrated volume, written by two Civil Rights activists, offering raw, powerful sketches of select figures and events in African-American history, including the American Revolution, Civil War, Black Cowboys, Reconstruction, and "Women in the Movement." Originally intended only for young black pupils enrolled in "freedom schools" of the South, particularly Mississippi, the text attracted a wider allegiance and was revised in a second printing for a wider audience a year later.

As well, here one can see in Rand's pen her… Read More
