A JOURNEY TO NUBIA & KEMET
Exploring African History, Culture, and Contributions
News & Announcements
"We are truly thrilled to have read this textbook with our students. In a world where our black, brown and indigenous children are often exposed to stereotypes and the erasing of history, Angel Brown-Harriott's work reclaimed the innovation of our early ancestors. Ms. Rodriguez and myself were able to have deep conversations with our students and open their minds."

"I used this book and read it from cover to cover with the children. I asked the principal to purchase a class set."
My World Literature Course
When I returned from ASALH, I immediately returned to the study and teaching of Ancient Kemet Civilization, using your book to supplement what I had already taught (the textbook had nothing on the contributions of Ancient Kemet to world civilization, so I turned to my own personal library and to your great resource). It was great meeting you.
