What Did We Learn
What Did We Learn is a profound and eye-opening examination of the Black American experience—its origins, resilience, and unresolved challenges. Author Tory Keit explores the historical journey of African Americans, beginning with overlooked African explorers predating Columbus and continuing through the horrors of slavery, Reconstruction, the rise of Black towns, and the fight for civil rights.
This book is not a mere historical recount; it's a call to reflection. With deep research and bold commentary, Keit connects the past to the present, asking why systemic inequities persist despite progress in education, wealth, and political power. Chapters explore the psychological effects of enslavement, the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the cultural significance of the Black church, and the powerful influence of media, politics, and intergenerational values.
Keit highlights stories of Black achievement—self-governed towns like Boley and Mound Bayou, early alliances with Native Americans, and the enduring legacy of institutions built from resilience. He also critically addresses internal divisions and external forces affecting Black progress in the 21st century.
Both informative and inspiring, What Did We Learn challenges readers to rethink American history, confront inherited barriers, and engage in shaping a more equitable future. It is essential reading for anyone committed to understanding the past to create lasting change.
