Before schools were integrated, Black teachers taught from two
books; the official government sanctioned books and from other
texts, written by Black authors about the realities of the Black
experience. It was referred to as “the Other Book.” In the current
political climate of book banning and “white washing,” this class
offers an experience of the history of Alachua County from the
Other Book. This first lecture is on “Dispelling the Myths: Precolonial
Africa” by Dr. Rik Stevenson.
