Critical Conversations: Unpacking “Black AF History”: Discussion Prompts & Workbook

I’m excited to share that I have developed a workbook intended as a companion guide for ‘Black AF History: The Unwhitewashed Story of America’ by Michael Harriot. Originally crafted for our book discussion group, this workbook was not only a valuable tool for delving into the themes of Harriot’s work, but also written in part to honor his impactful contributions. While I didn’t receive formal permission from the author to create this guide, its effectiveness in our group discussions inspired me to make it available to others. This resource is designed to facilitate rich, meaningful discussions and to enhance the reading experience for those exploring ‘Black AF History,’ in a way that respects and celebrates Mr. Harriot’s work.” This workbook is for you if you’re part of: Community Outreach Programs: Engage in dialogues that resonate at the heart of community growth and awareness.
