The cover of this book says it all: If you did not know this is a statue of King Tut, you NEED to read this book. We Ain’t No Niggas! shows the grave imbalance in what has and has not been taught about African and African-American History. The author gives historical, documented facts on how Africa was the birthplace of civilization. There is a wealth of information in this book that’s just simply priceless. From pioneering universities that taught various subjects such as math and astronomy, to bank notes of African countries with pictures of African leaders stamped on them, this book should be required reading for all African-Americans. You will also learn how great African kingdoms had a great influence in European history. This book also gives clear references to other books in order to learn even more about this subject. We Ain’t No Niggas! is a book that is needed in today’s African-American society.
