The first edition of Joel Augustus Rogerss now legendary 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof, published in 1934, was billed as A Negro Believe It or Not. Rogerss little book was priceless because he was delivering enlightenment and pride, steeped in historical research, to a people too long starved on the lie that they were worth nothing. For African Americans of the Jim Crow era, Rogerss was their first black history teacher. But Rogers was not always shy about embellishing the facts and minimizing ambiguity; neither was he above shock journalism now and then.With lan and eruditionand with winning enthusiasmHenry Louis Gates, Jr. gives us a corrective yet loving homage to Rogers work. Relying on the latest scholarship, Gates leads us on a romp through African, diasporic, and AfricanAmerican history in questionandanswer format. Among the one hundred questions: Who were Africas first ambassadors to Europe? Who was the first black president in North America? Did Lincoln really free the slaves? Who was historys wealthiest person? What percentage of white Americans have recent African ancestry? Why did free black people living in the South before the end of the Civil War stay there? Who was the first black head of state in modern Western history? Where was the first Underground Railroad? Who was the first black American woman to be a selfmade millionaire? Which black man made many of our favorite household products better?Here is a surprising, inspiring, sometimes boldly mischievousall the while highly instructive and entertainingcompendium of historical curiosities intended to illuminate the sheer complexity and diversity of being Negro in the world.(With fullcolor illustrations throughout.)
