Book Author: Writing a history book has been a dream of mine since I was a child. I loved reading about the ancient civilizations, the medieval kingdoms, and the modern revolutions that changed the world. I wanted to contribute to the field of history by writing my own book, which focuses negro contributions in the world and throughout history. I researched extensively on the sources, perspectives, and experiences of black people throughout the diaspora who participated in or witnessed the events of world I aimed to provide a comprehensive and balanced account of blacks influenced and were influenced by the revolution.
As a history teacher, I have always enjoyed sharing my passion for history with my students. I wanted to expand my audience and reach more people who are interested in learning about history. That is why I wrote my first history book, the history of a great and Noble people we have done a very best to make it informative, entertaining, and accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds.
