What an experience. But how can this book be anything less when it is Black AF History.
🤯 THE DOMINANT NARRATIVE IS BROKEN 🤯
It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written with the perspective of white men at the forefront. It could even be said that the historical devaluation and elimination of the experiences of Black people is as American as apple pie. Or rioting after football games. Or calling the cops on Black Americans for walking around their own neighborhoods, or listening to music, or bird-watching, or any other normal everyday activity.
📚 30+ LITTLE-KNOWN STORIES THAT MATTER 📚
In Black AF History,presenting more than thirty little-known stories about the experiences of Black Americans, from the Tulsa Race Massacre to the history of policing. With sharp, incisive wit, Harriot speaks hilarious truth to oppressive power, providing readers with a singular look at our shared history that is as comprehensive as it is utterly necessary.

— The Root
“With masterful storytelling and extensive, accurate research, Harriot subverts the dominant American narrative, creating a history that is both more truthful and beautifully Black AF.”

History can never be objective or unbiased because, no matter how hard the storytellers may try, the perception of reality prejudices all stories. The academic field of history is dominated by white men handicapped by the inability to see whiteness’s impact on America’s biography.
The Author of The Book Michael Harriot
Michael Harriot is an economist, writer and cultural critic who covers the intersection of race, politics, and social issues. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, The Atlantic, NBC, BET, and on his mother's refrigerator. Famously called "the King of Black Twitter," Harriot also serves as a writer for the Amber Ruffin Show. His political and social commentary frequently spark national debate, earning an Emmy nomination, 2 NAACP Image Award nominations and 4 National Association of Black Journalists awards. His college course “Race: An Economic Construct” was adapted by university economics departments across the country as a model for teaching the combination of history, economics, politics, and class structures.
This Book is Priceless
One of the best black history books, a must read for every person that loves American history. The way that everything is put together is amazing. If you’re curious about what MAGA really means, read this book. You’ll see why segregation didn’t work, why things changed from black power to black excellence, why South Carolina is VERY important in the story, and why Trump is the wish and dreams of the Federalist, Anti-Federalist, Confederates, and Nixon/Reagan era.

Incredible read!
I discovered Michael Harriot through his Twitter snack downs and history lessons. He predates Derek the work wear guy in that respect. Like many "melanin-challenged" Americans I often look for new Black books in February to honor Black History Month. This year I decided to go nonfiction instead of my YA fantasy of the fall.
This is a dense but highly readable book. Harriot cites his sources exhaustively and also adds humorous footnotes of his own. It's like having a sarcastic uncle narrating your reading.
The story follows a mostly linear path pre-Columbus through slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, and even Obama and Trump. There are fascinating stories of many heroes we should know and villains we should know better. -
Eye-opening
Ok, I'm white conservative woman, never been to the South, lived all my life on the West Coast. I think I am openminded. I read a lot, picked this up after reading Killers of the Flower Moon and Into the Arms of Strangers- Stories of the Kindertransport. I know history as it's being taught is slanted and I had never read any of the information in this book before. I am about halfway through and amazed and appalled about what I am reading. I was not raised in a prejudiced household and have friends of all nationalities. I strongly urge everyone to pickup this book and read it. Once I read about Haiti and Citibank I was hooked. The United Daughters of the Confederacy and their involvement in the textbooks we have all been "taught" by- OMG! READ THIS BOOK.

6 Stars! This is the best book about Black history.
I’ve read a good deal of the books that Mr. Harriot lists at the end of this one, and this is my favorite of them all. I say it’s the best book about Black history because it is by far the most engaging, the easiest to read, and the best paced. I run workshops on this type of content all the time and the stuff is HEAVY. It’s hard to get through an unfiltered look at America without taking a break (or seven). And a drink (or seven).
This book feels like sitting around at the family reunion listening to one of the elders tell stories. He puts just enough humor and personalization into this to make it come alive - without losing the purpose OR killing your soul in the process.
THANK YOU for writing this book! This is going to be my first recommendation to everyone from now on.

Must read for all ethnicities and nationalities
Excellent and informative read. I highly recommend it. US history has always been written from the white, European perspective. I was grateful for the opportunity to read it from other eyes. The truth of it was uncomfortable to learn but I am a better person for it, have a better understanding of reasons for distrust, suspicion, and residual hostility seen in black people, of course not all of them. We all need to know the truths of other sides, whether we want to or not.

A must read for all
I can’t say enough about this book. I enjoyed the audible. Michael Harriot was hilarious. The book is well researched. I learned so many history facts. This book has me wanting to go back to college and obtain another degree. A degree in history. This book was fun to read. I laughed. I became angry and I cried. The shares his upbringing and the things that shaped him. As a fellow southerner (GA), the love he has for South Carolina is endearing. It is a truly a must read. If you care about learning true history this awesome book to have. Happy I purchased a copy for my bookshelf.

History told right
I really appreciated the way this was brown down and told the right way. Michael did a great job in breaking it down and telling the truth. This book should be read by everyone.

Buy it, you will not regret it!
Absolutely amazing work. This is one of my most valued treasures added to my Library. My only regret was taking so long to purchase it.
The reader's review after reading
I have known about Mr. Harriot for years. He's been an amazingly funny and spot-on commentator on various social sites, and I knew he had some knowledge that I didn't have that he'd share as an extensive teaching article or thread.
I was waiting for this book since the moment he announced it, and it does NOT disappoint.
Now, I know a little about history, and I know a little about how "history" is invented by people choosing their ideas to support their biases, and I even know a little about the actual factual history we are not taught in schools or in popular culture & media. For example, the history *and meaning* of Haiti is essentially unknown in America, even though the events in Haiti (Black Africans destroying their own enslavement to create their own free republic? Heavens!) were a *significant* reason for the American government to clamp down on free speech, especially in the South, lest the still-enslaved Black Africans learn that they could take action and overthrow their Euro-American tormentors. You can read about slave codes and government suppression of the human rights of people in America, but it's not explainable unless you know that the Haitian revolution/insurrection (to use Mr. Harriot's distinctions) threatened the foundations of enslavement in America.
At every turn, Mr. Harriot fills in the gaps of knowledge about our own past, whether it is here on the continental US soil or world-wide, ranging from the African continent itself to Europe, the New World, and elsewhere.
I tell people that the history we are taught about ourselves lacks important information and that we here in this country have created a history that is impossible to believe. To allude to another historian's words, "you can't explain today's America if you go by the history taught in our schools about our yesterdays."
Of course this book will ruffle feathers. It will poke holes in our sacred symbols. It will reveal the motives of people with deceit on their lips about duty and honor and country.
But it will tell you the truth.
What better gift could you give to your family, your friends, your self, that you know the truth? I'm told that knowing the truth sets you free.
How about some freedom?
