Review by Billy Oertel, 2010-07-06
Although "1001 Things Everyone Should Know About African American History" is a great way to learn about how people of African descent have shaped America, it is sorely lacking in information about other races. Why not mention the many contributions made by Asian Americans or Irish Americans? I just feel that the book is a bit ethnic-centric, and focuses almost entirely on the African American experience, to the detriment of other racial experiences in America. I can only hope that an Asian American or Irish American child doesn't read this book and come away with the impression that their own racial groups didn't have anything to offer America.
Perhaps an updated edition can come out which doesn't ignore other ethnicities' history so blatantly.

I think that this book is to the point and has a lot of information.
Review by John L. Carter Jr., 2009-11-23
Because African American History is inexorably intertwined with American History, this is a must read book for all Americans. The history that one may have been taught is incomplete without incorporating African American History into the entire fabric of American History.
Review by M. Hill, 2009-02-03
This book is a great source of Black history. I have the 1996 edition, and noticed that Carter G. Woodson and details about the Black Wall Street in Oklahoma are missing. How could the Father of Black History not be included in any book with Black History facts? The Black Wall Street is one of the biggest tales of Black wealth, and it too is missing. The missing info is disturbing.
