Produktbeschreibung

Did you know that a black man founded Chicago, Illinois? Did you know that the iconic television program Sesame Street grew out of the Civil Rights movement? This collection of unsung trailblazers unearths these and other little-known facts from the past. Packed with insightful encyclopedic entries, 45 People, Places, and Events in Black History You Should Know is the perfect primer for the Black History dabbler or enthusiast. In this book, you will discover:

15 individual men

15 individual women, and

15 important people, places, or events

A large portion of these subjects received scant recognition from media outlets. But their names and stories are worth remembering because they figure prominently in the large historic landscape that forms the world narrative. Among the many subjects covered in this book are Bridget "Biddy" Mason, a black female and former slave. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, she was the wealthiest resident of Los Angeles, California. You'll learn about Covert, Michigan, the U.S. township that defied the racist norms of the post-Civil War era by refusing to segregate. And you'll read about C.R. Patterson and Sons, the first and only major car manufacturer owned and operated by black Americans.

Autorenporträt

Daniel J. Middleton is passionate about black history. His mission is to inspire and enlighten people by revealing the sacrifices, struggles, and triumphs of those who came before us. Through his books, he chronicles the perseverance of past trailblazers who left a lasting legacy for our generation. Along with detailed articles, Daniel also illustrates coloring pages and creates interactive black history activities based on the articles for adults to engage with.

Daniel has spent the past fourteen years as a graphic designer in the book industry, where he worked with small presses and advised publishers and authors along the way. He has taken that experience and funneled it into Unique Coloring, which is an extension of his overall vision. During his career, what Daniel noticed was a severe lack of diversity in publishing. Books rarely depicted the black experience in an authentic manner, with positive images and narratives that adequately represented black people. He felt a need to correct that oversight.

Each subject Daniel approaches begins with meticulous research, which includes various primary, secondary, and tertiary sources that are carefully vetted for accuracy. This same determination is carried over to the materials he illustrates, the references for which are also carefully chosen to represent a given period in a factual light. Daniel writes all the articles for Unique Coloring and illustrates the grayscale images seen throughout the website. The company is focused on materials celebrating black history and culture.
