A new book takes a communal look at a history that has long been buried.
"Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019" collects the work of 90 writers — historians, poets, journalists, novelists and activists — to tell the stories of Black Americans, from the arrival of the White Lion, which brought enslaved people to the colonies in 1619, to the Black Lives Matter movement.

More BS. America didn’t start in 1619. America didn’t seek it’s independence to keep slavery. Etc etc etc! I have a family history in Montana that goes back to the 1800’s. A lot of the family narrative has been exaggerated etc. It is “family stories”. My wife and I enjoyed the Gates PBS presentation about peoples roots. Most people have no idea going back 2 generations.
