Summary "Colored Girls and Boys' Inspiring United States History" by William Henry Harrison is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of African Americans throughout U.S. history, challenging the narrative that often overlooks their significant roles. It serves both as an educational tool and a motivational piece for young Black readers, instilling a sense of pride in their heritage and achievements. The opening of the book begins with a poem and a personal note from the author, expressing his intent to inspire African American youth by highlighting their historical contributions which have often been neglected in mainstream American histories. Harrison reflects on his own educational experiences, detailing the absence of positive representation for Black individuals in the history he studied as a child, and outlines the journey that led him to compile this work. He emphasizes that this book is intended to provide a fuller understanding of American history, featuring influential figures and events related to African Americans, thus aiming to elevate the racial pride and knowledge of future generations.
