FourHundredSouls, edited by @DrIbram and @KeishaBlain, is an example of a more inclusive way to tell history. Rather than relying on one scholarly sage to know all, Ibram and Blain embrace a choral retelling from 90 historians, philosophers, journalists, anthropologists, activists, lawyers, novelists, and poets. The book divides the 400 years of Black-American history into 80, 5 year chunks covered by essays. Powerful poems are used to divide larger sections. The audiobook is mostly read by the writer of each piece. Four Hundred Souls is worth your time.
