Why deny the truth America? We would be nothing without the contribution and the mixture of the races. We are a varied people and our lives depend on each other as people and not color. History is written in more than Black and White.

This book will delight readers in the fact we will be able the reader to learn about all of the different accomplishments and contributions made to the United States by different ethnicities without having to pull a multitude of books off the shelf. It answers the question what did this race or those races ever do for America? And proves America’s history was written in more than black and white.
I see my audience as ordinary U. S. citizens; people proud to find their heritage acknowledged in one book. Instead of being celebrated in specific months history will be studied everyday of the year. I see the book being used in the public and private school system. I believe other home schooling parents would buy the book as will parents who want to educate their children in tolerance, fortitude and ingenuity of all races.
Though it is written in a similar vein of “I, Too, Sing America-The African American Book of Days” written by Paula L. Woods .
Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History’s uniqueness are in the fact its focus is on America’s multiracial history, it is not a calendar and so does not become obsolete after a year, and within the past ten years nothing has been published as a comparison.
I have been a successful activist in my community and run for public office. As a single parent I owned a childcare center, developed curriculum and home educated three daughters who entered college at ages 16 and 17. I have been published in the local newspaper and in Essence Magazine. I believe this book is a great asset for the education of society.
