Who Were These People? And Why Didn't They Teach Us About Them in School?

History isn’t missing. It’s just been ignored.

Who Were These People? And Why Didn’t They Teach Us About Them in School? is a powerful journey through the forgotten corridors of American history—unearthing the lives, legacies, and resistance of Black figures too often left out of textbooks.

With the raw insight and passion of an urban storyteller, author Eric. Wright shines a spotlight on heroes, thinkers, warriors, and visionaries whose contributions shaped generations—but were erased or overlooked by traditional education. From community builders and civil rights icons to unsung pioneers of medicine, music, literature, and revolution, this book challenges what you thought you knew.

Told with heart, honesty, and urgency, this is more than a historical record—it’s a call to remembrance. It's for the kids who never saw themselves in the lessons. For the adults still asking questions. And for every reader ready to learn what school never dared to teach.

Coming Winter 2026. This isn’t just history—it’s the truth, and it’s time.
