This book aims to bring the Black narrative to the broadest possible audience. It is not just for one community but wishes to draw all communities into an understanding, awareness and celebration of an often underrepresented aspect of history. Hanging on what happened on this day throughout the year, the reader is encouraged to consume a daily dose of the Black story experiencing the highs, lows, excitement, despair, challenges and successes. Each day, one is encouraged to read; January 1st to December 31st, to gain insight into seeing the world through Black eyes and minds. With two volumes my fear is that I have only begun to scratch the surface of our collective stories.
