Autorenporträt

When it comes to reading, writing and books, Richard Kigel brings the practical skills of an experienced literacy professional to his writing. A veteran of forty years teaching in New York City schools, he was inspired by Bill Cosby's 1968 TV special "Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed," and Alex Haley's 1976 Roots to find ways to teach his students about the courage, nobility, ingenuity and perseverance of African-American men and women in their heroic struggle for racial equality. He came to realize that Black History is essential to any understanding of our nation, that Black History is American History.
