Hiya! This is Alison Hammond! I enjoy learning about different individuals, and here's a secret: sometimes the folks we don't know much about are the most interesting! That is, after all, what this book is about. Let me ask you a question: how many Black figures from our history can you name? What about Mary Seacole? Is that Ira Aldridge? George Bridgetower, anyone? Fanque, Pablo? Tull, Walter? Have you heard of these individuals? Yes? That's fantastic! But don't worry if you haven't, you're not alone, which is why I'm so thrilled to tell you all about them. Because the people in this book deserve to be famous for the incredible things they've accomplished! And we're not going back in time; I'll expose you to folks creating waves right now! From athletes to scientists, activists to singers, politicians to writers, we'll meet a plethora of AMAZING people who have helped form the world we live in. So, are you ready for a Black in Time journey? Of course you are, so let's get started!
