📖🥳🎊Happy Publication Day to THE STOLEN WEALTH OF SLAVERY by David Montero!
This groundbreaking Amazon.com #EditorsPick for Best History books tracks the massive wealth amassed from slavery from pre-Civil War to today, showing how our modern economy was built on the backs of enslaved Black people. With a powerful forward by Michael Eric Dyson, Montero lays out a clear argument for reparations that shows exactly what was stolen, who stole it, and to whom it is owed.
📖 ✍🏾 For centuries, Black patients have been absent from our history books. It's time for that to change. It's time to repair the record and complicate what we know about mental health and race in America.
MADNESS: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum by Antonia Hylton is a page-turning 93-year history of Crownsville Hospital, one of the nation’s last segregated asylums, that New York Times bestselling author Clint Smith describes as “a book that left me breathless.” #OrderNow
