The Land That Black Built

History - Poetry - Knowledge

The Land That Black Built is a hard cover illustrated poem that portrays a historical Pan-African journey. It chronicles the pangs and sufferings as well as the triumphs and glory of a people.

 It is a picturesque portrait of the souls of black folks and how we profoundly contributed to the greatness of a nation while uniquely obliterating barriers specifically designed to quell our own.  

 The back matter of TLTBB will feature Dr. Mac’s patented Afrikan Nek-bonez section. Nek-bonez are intriguing snippets of information that for many obvious reasons are routinely left out of the history books. 

 They told you Martin had a dream, but they didn’t mention Malcom’s by any means necessary.

 They told you about a tired Rosa who sat down and protested in peaceful resistance, but they didn’t tell you about an energetic Harriet who stood up with a gun and an attitude. 

 They told you that the nation’s restaurants and lunch counters would not feed black folks. They didn’t tell you that southern white folks fed small black babies…to alligators. 

 The Land That Black Built is the boldest Afro-centric conversation piece in your library and the quintessential benefaction to those who are gifted and black but need to be educated and “woke”. Black history lovers and learners from ages 13 and up will enjoy repeated readings of this treasure.
