Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot
About the book club: Mocha Girls Read is a monthly book club of Black women who love to read. They currently have chapters in 14 cities across the United States. Anyone can join an Instagram Live every first Saturday of the month at 5 p. m. PT to hear Alysia, the founder of Mocha Girls Read, discuss the current book club selection.
What Mocha Girls Read said about the book: “We’re closing out fall with a bold, brilliant, and unflinchingly honest read that’s guaranteed to shake up what you think you know about American history. This month, we’re diving into a work that blends deep research, sharp humor, and fearless truth-telling to uncover the stories that were never meant to be forgotten.
Our November theme, “Let Him Tell It,” celebrates nonfiction by Black male authors who speak truth with purpose and precision. And there’s no better voice to lead that charge than journalist, cultural critic, and unapologetic truth-teller Michael Harriot—author of our November 2025 Monthly Book Selection, Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America.”
