Recent release "African Americans Who Shaped American History" from Page Publishing author Dr. Ted Adkisson is an inspiring number of short stories highlighting notable African Americans from the mid-eighteenth century through the Civil Rights era.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Ted Adkisson, a retired human resource professional with thirty years of service at the University of Illinois, who currently mentors public school students and members of the church community in the use of technology to enhance their education and historical perspective, has completed his book "African Americans Who Shaped American History," a compilation of short but informative stories.
Dr. Adkisson shares, "The book does not attempt to tell the complete history of all the accomplishments of the African American men and women featured in the book. But it is my hope that the book will become a starting point for further study of the contributions and achievements that many African Americans have made that helped shape American history.
Many significant events and personalities in the African Americans' history and life portrayed in the book are respectfully highlighted as they pursued their goals in American society. The social, scientific, artistic, athletic, religious, educational, and economic development of African American characters was researched and carefully studied to examine the stories of African Americans as slaves who later became emancipated that helped shape American history.
The basic aim of the book is to promote a better understanding of America's past by developing an increased awareness of the magnitude of the contribution of the African American in some areas of American life and through all periods of American history.
Finally, the book is designed to give teachers and students in our educational and religious institutions a broader and more factual statement of the African Americans role in our nation's history so that the reader will realize that African American history is American history."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Dr. Ted Adkisson's book is an attempt to acknowledge African Americans' noble accomplishments in the face of prejudice and hostility in America's past, many of which were either omitted or never included in American history curriculums.
Readers who wish to experience this compelling work can purchase "African Americans Who Shaped American History" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
