Who Were These People? And Why Didn't They Teach Us About Them in School? explores powerful, overlooked, and often forgotten stories from Black history that many readers were never taught in the classroom. From courageous freedom fighters and groundbreaking pioneers to devastating acts of injustice and resistance, Eric Wright brings these stories forward in a direct, accessible style designed to make readers question what they learned-and what was left out.

This collection honors the people, struggles, achievements, and moments in history that deserve to be remembered.
