whileBlack Chronicles: Black History Told Thru Stories

(0 reviews)

Discover a family that never backs down in the WhileBlack Chronicles, a powerful series of historical fiction books about African American life.

 

In the first installment, "If Cotton Could Talk," readers will be transported to a cotton plantation in Mississippi in 1850, and follow the inspiring story of the relationships between those enslaved.

 

In the second book, "If the Elders Call," readers will witness the next generation led by Earl, fighting back against the violent reaction to Reconstruction and the KKK.  

 

Finally, "If New Orleans Could Talk" highlights Linda, Earl's daughter, and the powerful lessons she learns from a New Orleans madam with blue eyes.

 

Each book is a unique look at how politics and white self-interest shape policy and consequently history to the detriment of African Americans. If you enjoy books with great stories, complex plots, and relatable characters you'll be hooked on the WhileBlack Chronicles.
