I'll Make Me a World

In I’ll Make Me a World, historian Jarvis R. Givens explores the 100-year journey of Black History Month, tracing its roots from "Negro History Week" in 1926 to its contemporary significance in America's cultural landscape. Through personal narratives, archival research, and the insights of Black educators, Givens highlights the essential contributions of everyday individuals in shaping Black history and underscores the importance of preserving this legacy amid ongoing challenges. This work serves as a powerful reminder to honor and expand our understanding of Black history, advocating for its role as a vital source of empowerment and truth.
