African American Education Uplift Calendar Hammurabi Robb Black History

[sic]Africa's Gifts Through the Ages in the Old and New World. [Cover Title] Publication: Chicago: The House of Knowledge, [1975]. Very good with minimal wear and light dust soiling.

This is a Black history book, bound like a calendar and published by The House of Knowledge which was created by F. Hammurabi Robb, an African American attorney who toured the country (and ultimately the world) speaking on Black history. The building that housed his businesses on South Michigan Boulevard in Chicago was later used as the first home for the DuSable Museum of African American history. This is another book by Robb which is devoted entirely to African history, tracing it to modern African Americans and encouraging pride in the long history. Each page is an explosion of textual and visual factoids, with occasional narrative text interspersed.

Entire pages are devoted to Nigeria, Ethiopia, civilization in the Nile valley, alphabets which arose from Africa, Zulu warriors and many more. There are sections on African art, information on various modern countries in Africa along with a list of Great Kingdoms of Africa Ancient. Also of note are four pages devoted to Black authors, with images of their works as well as this book's many maps.
