Curious Me: This has to be
one of the Best books I have ever read. I love history, especially Black history. A real eye opener. I learned so much more reading this book. On to find something else.

KenVille: Writing "Some White Guy's Book' in 2020 was a transformational experience for me, in part from reading "How To Be An Antiracist" as part of my research. Now having read "400 Souls" I feel once again I will never be the same.

I wish it were required reading for all our children, even if everything else were banned by fears of the CRT boogeyman.

I read it on Kindle, but I'm buying the print version. It is too precious to not have in my home library, to be shared and touched and passed on to my daughter someday.

Jill M. Nolan: "Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019" is an important and thought-provoking book that provides an in-depth look at the history of African Americans over four centuries. Written by a team of experts and edited by Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, the book is divided into 90 chapters, each written by a different author and covering a specific period or topic.

One of the strengths of the book is its focus on community and how African Americans have come together to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. The book covers a wide range of topics, including slavery, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Black Lives Matter movement, and provides a nuanced and nuanced understanding of the challenges and triumphs of African American history.

Another strength of the book is its use of primary sources, including letters, speeches, and other documents, which help to bring history to life and provide a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The book also includes illustrations, photographs, and other visual aids, making it a rich and engaging read.

Overall, "Four Hundred Souls" is a powerful and enlightening book that provides...

Gladys: This is A MUST READ for those who embrace white supremacy, fascism, bigotry and lift up racism in America. Many will continue to try to erase an entire race of people, that were actually here first ('personally' two sets of my lineage). The history that is taught in schools of this country's beginning should be called the fiction books versus history books. White nationalism verbiage of go back to where you came from speaks volumes: refusing the truth about kidnappings and theft of a country is high level ignorance. I compare it to a parent kicking a child out after giving birth to them; we're here because you bought and brought us here. It's curious how someone can discover a place where people already existed: denied knowledge is what I call that. I am not surprised by the strength of Black Americans who continue to accomplish many things over so many obstacles for so long. There are times I catch myself daydreaming; imagine the accomplishments which could have been realized in America's history if there was no foot on our neck or shots to the back. If we could just get them to move on from ideals of turning back the clock to the days of 'Strange Fruit', there could be hope....
