This sweeping survey of Black history shows how Black humanity has been erased and how its recovery can save the humanity of us all.

Using history as a foundation, The Humanity Archive uses storytelling techniques to make history come alive and uncover the truth behind America’s whitewashed history.The Humanity Archive focuses on the overlooked narratives in the pages of the past.

Challenging dominant perspectives, author Jermaine Fowler goes outside the textbooks to find recognizably human stories. Connecting current issues with the heroic struggles of those who have come before us, Fowler brings hidden history to light.

Praise for The Humanity Archive:

Fowler sees historical storytelling and the sharing of knowledge as a vocation and a means of fostering empathy and understanding between cultures. A deft storyteller with a sonorous voice, Fowler’s passion for his material is palpable as he unfurls the hidden histories. — Vanity Fair
