as posted by the channelJuneteenth Black AF History
Black AF History: The Unwhitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot — a book that flips traditional narratives of American history on their head. Centered on Juneteenth, highlighting this moment to reflect on the power of Black storytelling, Black humor, and the radical act of rest without disconnecting from knowledge.
Harriot’s book is both comedic and cutting, taking readers on a journey through untold and reimagined stories of Black America — from the “church fight that started slavery” to “Drake’s a maniacs” and the “multicultural rebellion of 1811.” Discussing why Black AF History matters: its creative structure, comedic tone, and serious historical weight make it essential reading.
This episode also highlights Harriot’s companion podcast, Drapetomaniax: Unshackled History, where historical reenactments are told with voice, humor, and bite. A hilarious and sobering clip from one of the episodes to show just how impactful this storytelling method can be.
Whether you’re deep into history or just history-curious, this is a conversation about culture, truth, and the beauty of Black voices reclaiming their own narrative.
