Dear  

My name is Jack and I'm helping my step father try to get his new booked to be stocked in Libraries, Prisons and Schools. We were hoping if you could help us do this please?

The new book launched that charters ‘History Through the Black Experience'. There is no other book on the market that captures the breadth and depth of the Black story, experience and perspective of Sub-Sahara Africa, Central and North America, Caribbean, Australia and Black European.

This unique book spanning over 800 pages over two volumes. Written to engage the reader daily looking at what happened on this day, January 1st through to December 31st. Topics are often linked, an example being connecting the varied stories of Black people involved in space exploration.

The book champions Stories of courage and success often against incredible odds. Featured are slave narratives, tales of invention, politics, science independence, military heroics, Civil Rights, the arts; film, theatre, authors, television, music and dance and many uncover and discover stories. 'The Black Experience' aims to shine a light on an area of history often overlooked, redacted, hidden, ignored, sidelined, pigeon holed and even appropriated.

"History Through the Black Experience" is about providing insight and balance. All too often Black contributions have not been suitably acknowledged. In the 62 years of the Grammy Awards only a dozen Black artists have won the prestigious Best Album Awards. Since the inception of the Brits in 1977 not one Black artist has received the accolade; The Brits Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. The sporting arena is known for Black success. Starting in 1954 the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award has only seen 6 Black recipients, the first being Daley Thompson in 1982. The second recipient came a decade later in 1993 with Linford Christie. International sports winners have faired slightly better with 15 Black winners over the last 50 years.

We believe that is book is ground breaking and there isn't anything else like it on the markets and we think your audience would love this book and the world needs to read this book and celebrate black achievement to change the discord and narrative.

Simon Hudson the author  was a secondary religious Studies teacher for over 30 years in London. He spent a lifetime preparing for this book. As a teenager he was inspired by the stories of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights struggle in the USA.

As a teacher, before ‘Black History Month' had been adopted, I introduced ‘Cultural Awareness Week' where colleagues an pupils discovered diverse cultures and contributions made by people outside the European narrative.

He sat down to research and write, eighteen months later (through out Covid) he felt comfortable having provided a foundation, an understanding, and insight, and a springboard from which one could pursue further learning and build knowledge.

We would really appreciate any help or advice in how we could get it stocked? As we think its inspiring but also a wonderful resource tool.

Thank you for your help
