About this book

The inaugural monthly e-book series about genealogy highlights about African Americans, Afro Caribbeans and Africans who survived harsh circumstances that allow us to breathe the air of today’s freedom from physical bondage. August First features the little-known accounts about “August 1st, Nicodemus and Red Summer.” You will learn about resilience, triumph and innovation from ancestors who turned a little into a lot.
