Who invented the traffic light? What about transportation itself? Farming? Art? Modern chemistry? Who made cats?

What if I told you there was ONE answer to all of these questions? That one answer? BLACK PEOPLE! Seriously.

And this book is like a mini-encyclopedia. full of more evidence than WikiLeaks and just as eye-opening! Do you know just how much Black inventors and creators have given to modern society?

Within the past 200 years. Black Americans have drawn on a timeless well of inner genius to innovate and engineer the design of the world we live in today.

But what of all the Black history before then? Before white people invented the Patent Office. Black folks were the original creators and builders. developing ingenious ways to manage the world s changes over millions of years. everywhere you can imagine. from Azerbaijan to Zagazig!

With wit and wisdom (and tons of pictures!) this book digs deeper than the whitewashed history we learn in school books and explores how our African ancestors established the foundation of modern society!

Have you inherited this genius? What can you do with it? Inspired by solutions from the past. we can develop strategies for a successful future!
