African american book reviews: Ms. Long’s historical stories will resonate loudly in both the African American Communities and educational community. It is a treat for lovers of history and provides a new perspective on Black History with key questions at the end of each chapter. A well-researched journey that many of us have heard whispers of but never saw. She brings the truth to us all about what we contributed.

I have truly enjoyed reading “The Untold Stories”. For many years the truth has been buried and false narratives about African American history have prevailed, until now. It’s thrilling to see your passion to communicate a perspective to our children that isn’t currently taught in schools. I would certainly recommend ALL Students across America read it to understand the true history.
