Each chapter is dedicated to revealing the truth and correcting misrepresentations about black history. The book is packed with images that tell the written story visually.

SANDRA K. YOCUM is the Founder/President of the Yocum African-American History Association. Since the late 1960s, when she taught second grade students in Watts, the predominately black community in Los Angeles, she became aware that black students knew little about their own history, or how African-Americans for centuries overcame obstacles and achieved success. As she delved into civil rights history she found omissions and revisionism in history texts that prevent students and teachers from knowing the truth about black history. This discovery caused her to compile her extensive research for Black History 1619 to 2019. FRANCES P. RICE is a retired Lieutenant Colonel with 20 years of active service and several distinguished medals. She holds a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California, Hastings College of Law and a Master of Business Administration from Golden Gate University, San Francisco. She worked for McDonnell Douglas a government contract advisor on the law of space exploration. She taught Business Law for the European Division of the University of Maryland in Brussels, Belgium. She has been researching black history since the 1960s and is a co-founder of the Yocum African-American History Association.
