Gabriel Scott has released a new book entitled “100 Unsung Black History Facts” which presents readers with 100 remarkable facts that have been overshadowed, obscured, or concealed from mainstream discourse. Black history has been consistently whitewashed throughout history, reflecting a systemic effort to distort, downplay, or omit the significant contributions and experiences of Black individuals and communities. Moreover, media, education, and cultural representations have often failed to accurately depict the full scope of Black history, reinforcing stereotypes and promoting a limited, sanitized version of events.
For example, it covers the truth about Ludwig Van Beethoven’s identity, how Black history is connected to St. Patrick’s Day, and the story of Margaret & Matilda Peters, two African-American sisters who were very successful in tennis almost 100 years before Venus & Serena Williams.
It is a treasure trove of hidden narratives, presenting readers with 100 remarkable facts that have been overshadowed, obscured, or concealed from mainstream discourse.“What sets this book apart is its dedication to unearthing truths that have been marginalized or overlooked,” says Scott. “These are not merely forgotten stories; they are powerful testimonies that deserve to be celebrated and remembered.”
