We have had successes and failures, pain and pleasures, achievements and loss, adventure, invention and innovation, creativity and wisdom. We had and have Kings and Queens, chiefs and politicians, scientists, engineers, explorers, writers, singers, dancers, artists indeed we have always been present in the human story. These books shine a light on stories of courage and achievement, often against incredible odds, capturing experiences from around the world from people of black heritage looking at the great, the good, the amazing, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.
