Reverend Brown\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Afro-American World Almanac, first published in 1943, when white publishers exhibited little interest in Black History, is Ross Brown's effort to document Black achievements. More a notebook than an almanac, this work is a wonderful time capsule to the past, stuffed with well-known and little-known tidbits about Blacks. We find information on famous kings and queens of Africa, great people in the Holy Bible, and even information on the recently verified Thomas Jefferson\/Sally Hemmings relationship. Often the events captured do not follow a chronological timeline and the documentation is at times sketchy--but they are fun to read anyway. Brown has a way of blending the ancient with the modern. He, after all, makes no pretense about being a historian. Brown is a layman, and he compiled this mass of data for other lay people. He wrote and published this book for the \"reader on the street,\" successfully conveying a sense of passion and urgency that are often boiled out of so called \"scholarly\" histories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 06, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45776480338117,"sku":"9781580730181","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/3jm2NHbnP89781580730181_5637d82f-6430-4fa3-8d0f-9c852fd562a5.webp?v=1770549234","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-afro-american-world-alamanac-what-do-your-know-about-your-race-with-unusual-historic-facts-about-prominent-people-of-african-descent-from-a-to-z-paperback-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
