  • Summary

  • Are you interested in history but find the idea of reading a history book overwhelming? Do you want to learn about history you weren't taught in school? I'm Rachelle Chase. I'm a published author of historical nonfiction and fiction books; a journalist whose work has appeared in USA Today, National Geographic, the Des Moines Register and others; and a public speaker. But most importantly, I'm passionate about history, because I still remember what it felt like as a young Black girl sitting in a classroom where no one looked like me, reading textbooks where I never read about anyone that looked like me... except for Slavery. This has to change. The erasure of Black people from history seeks to continue dividing us. So for the past 15 years, I've used my voice to bring the stories, experiences and achievements of Black Americans to light, and founded a nonprofit, Uniting Through History. Each week on the Reading with Rachelle podcast, I will pick a book that focuses on history and those who made it and bring this history to life through conversations with authors, experts, and everyday people. Through storytelling, we'll connect with the history we were never taught in school. At a time when history is being used to divide us, let's learn how it unites us, and how Black history is not apart from American history, but how it's a part of American history. So click the subscribe button and join me on November 6th, 2024, and let's begin Reading with Rachelle. Connect with Rachelle: https://www.rachellechasewrites.com/ https://rachellechase.substack.com/
