Erased: A History of Black Progress and White Backlash

📖 Description:
At every moment of Black progress in America, there has been a violent white backlash—a deliberate effort to erase, suppress, and destroy Black communities, businesses, and political power.

From the destruction of Seneca Village in New York City to the Tulsa Race Massacre, and from the systematic flooding of Black towns to the Supreme Court decisions that legalized racial violence, Erased uncovers the hidden history of racial massacres and economic sabotage that shaped America.

📖 What This Book Covers:
✔ 32 Forgotten Massacres – A comprehensive account of how Black communities were violently targeted.
✔ Submerged Towns & Stolen Land – Unveiling communities erased through land seizures and flooding.
✔ Legalized White Backlash – Supreme Court cases and policies that dismantled Black progress.
✔ Eyewitness Testimonies & Historical Documents – Bringing forgotten voices back to life.

Despite being some of the most pivotal events in American history, these massacres and acts of systemic destruction are rarely taught in schools. The racial wealth gap, voter suppression, and modern-day gentrification are direct consequences of this history.

Through powerful storytelling and deep historical analysis, Erased restores the voices of those who were silenced and challenges the myth of American progress by exposing the ongoing fight for justice and truth.

🔹 A must-read for history lovers, educators, and those seeking the truth about racial justice in America.
