Wake Up to Real History – Black AF History with Michael Harriot

Yo, what’s up fam? Today, we MUST talk about something real important—Michael Harriot’s dope new book, Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America. Trust us, this is NOT your average history lesson. Nah, this is a game-changer, a wake-up call, and a celebration all rolled into one.

First, let’s talk about why this book is so crucial. For way too long, our history has been whitewashed, sanitized, and straight-up ignored. But Harriot ain’t havin’ none of that. He takes a deep dive into the real stories, the ones they don’t teach you in school. From the struggles of our ancestors in slavery to the rise of the civil rights movement, he lays it all out there, raw and unfiltered.

But what really sets Black AF History apart is how it’s not just about the past—it’s about right now, today, this moment. Harriot connects the dots between our history and the issues we’re still facing today. He shows how racism is not just some distant memory—it’s alive and kicking, embedded in the very fabric of our society and interwoven within communities. And more importantly, he ain’t afraid to call it out, loud and clear.

This book is a wake-up call, a reminder that we can’t afford to sit back and let history repeat itself. It’s a call to action, a challenge to keep fighting for justice, equality, and respect. Harriot’s words light a fire under us, inspiring us to keep pushing forward, keep speaking out, and keep demanding change.

But it’s not all heavy, sad history! Nope! Black AF History is also a celebration of our resilience, our creativity, and our culture. Harriot shines a spotlight on the unsung heroes, the trailblazers, and the everyday people who’ve shaped our history. It’s a reminder that our story isn’t just one of struggle—it’s one of triumph, of joy, and of love.

So, if you’re looking for a book that’ll make you think, make you feel, and make you proud to be who you are, then Black AF History is the truth that you have been searching for. Trust me, fam, you won’t regret diving into this powerful journey through our past, our present, and our future. Let’s keep the movement alive, one page at a time.

Caution: If you are White and easily get your feelings hurt when the truth is being told about what really went down in America, don’t read this book!
