I got so excited about the B&N special that I shared the book cover without giving it a special 'debut announcement.' I am thrilled to share the cover of my next book, A FORGOTTEN MIGRATION. Isn't it beautiful?!? 1/

Congrats!

It's pub day for Organizing Your Own!
My book pushes back on the old myth that Black Power was anti-white.
Groups like SNCC didn't kick white people out. Rather, all over the country, Black-led groups asked white activists to organize white people to support Black liberation.

Really cool overview of my lesson teaching Half American by Matt Delmont and inspired by Amanda Sandoval 💛 instagram.com/p/C5lV-2CO5zY/…

Great overview by Zinn Ed Project of how teacher librarian Molly Dettmann used 'Half American' with students in Norman, Oklahoma! The students made amazing poems and art based on this history.

“They were in segregated communities. And then they entered into a segregated military, where they encountered racism and discrimination pretty much every day of their lives.” Professor Matt Delmont on Black Americans in the Navy in WWII The Washington Post ⤵️ wapo.st/3JapoyW

Knowledge is power, but shared knowledge empowers us all. Looking forward to the community reading of this book. #GriggsVsDukePower50 #WWIIVeterans #LocalHistoryMatters Zinn Ed Project Matt Delmont

Molly Dettmann Amanda Sandoval 💛 Wonderful to hear how you are using 'Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad' by Matt Delmont who worked with Dartmouth College to get this book into the hands of teachers and students all over the U.S.
