Book excerpt: "Black History 1619 - 2019: Revealing and Counteracting Revisionist African-American History is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the events which shaped the lives and contributions of African-Americans from the experience of the era of slavery until modern times. The book contains fourteen well-researched chapters starting with Chapter 1, Colonial Domestic Slave Trade (1619 - 1775), and ending with Chapter 14, Post-Civil Rights Movement (1967 - 2019). Each chapter is dedicated to revealing the truth and correcting misrepresentations about black history. Setting the record straight with black history using facts and primary sources and over 300 photographs and illustrations is the antidote to historical revisionism. This book was written to promote awareness, to preserve and disseminate information, and to restore the integrity of African-American history in the black community in the United States of America"--
