Lest We Forget
This year is the 400th National anniversary commemorating the Jamestown arrival of Africans in 1619.
Lest We Forget is an elegant bind up of three collectable books by distinguished historian, Velma Maia Thomas, curator of the nationally acclaimed Black Holocaust Exhibit in Atlanta, Georgia. Those books are the 3 chapters:
• Lest We Forget – documents the plight of an estimated 100 million Africans from their rich pre-slavery culture to their enslavement in a foreign land.
• Freedom’s Children – brings to life the heart wrenching and inspiring tale of freedmen and freedwomen during Reconstruction and into the twentieth century.
• We Shall Not Be Moved – chronicles the struggles and triumphs of African Americans leading up to and during the Civil Rights Movement.
This book is 128 visually stimulating pages of interactive education. Not only are you reading history you also see it displayed in 200+ soul stirring images. Lest We Forget takes you back in time offering 10+ removable items for you to touch/feel putting you right into the scene of the story that you are reading about. The accordian fold out timeline was everything and should give you goosebumps. You don’t read, Lest We Forget, you experience it.
