I watched a video about this book, The Original Black Elite, and I was floored by the accuracy of the depiction of history. Although I am glad to have found this text, I am dismayed by the fact that it was written by a white woman. I think a Black person should have written this book. I think Black history is best told by Black people. The fact that a white woman tells Black history is indicative of the fact that Black people are invisible in society. Our position is continually being wiped away and disregarded. It's sad.
