Black AF History
Black AF History by Michael Harriot is a lively narrative history that examines the United States through a Black-centered lens, blending sharp analysis with humor and storytelling. Harriot challenges traditional timelines and myths, foregrounding Black resistance, creativity, and influence throughout U.S. history. Adult readers and older teens appreciate the conversational tone and rigorous sourcing that make complex history feel both accessible and urgent. It’s best for mature high schoolers and adults comfortable with frank discussions of racism and power. The language and humor are bold and sometimes explicit, so it’s not right for every classroom. Pair it with primary sources and more traditional texts to spark critical comparison.
