Amid the Twisted History

Book excerpt: As a young girl, the author once asked her mother where in Africa their family was from, but the reply totally contradicted everything that she was learning in school. It has taken decades for the author to finally be able to say with confidence that she is who her mother said she is. In searching for the truth of her ancestry within the history of America and the world, one woman uncovers astonishing information. Amid the Twisted History: An American Negro Story lays out her research, revealing the whitewashing of history that systematically made the black-and-brown-skin people vanish from our recorded past. We all are part of the human race. Skin color does not change that. Go on this fascinating journey with the author and understand that reading and researching for yourself is the only way to find the truth. About the Author Keisha M.
