Produktbeschreibung

Startling, straightforward, and sometimes disturbing truth that dispels the false narratives we have been taught to believe for generations and that continue to be taught to our children and grandchildren.

This is what author Marie Arruda-Machado Medici reveals in this compelling genealogical study.

When Marie embarked on researching her ancestry 20 years ago, she was aware of her proud Native American heritage. However, she was shocked to discover that she is also a descendant of several well-known historical figures, such as

• Mary Magdalene
• Shakespeare
• Columbus

Marie's further research revealed that much of the information contained in history books and taught in our schools about these historical figures is false. Her research also unearthed the frightening reality that some of her ancestors were not only victimized, but also oppressors of their own people. Not only that, they had contributed to the false narratives passed down to this day.

Black, Red, Yellow, and White Lies Still Matter is Marie's determination to set the record straight, not only for her family line but also for us all, as her story, her history, is also collectively our story, our history.

Do any of us really know the truth about our family history? Marie's fascinating research chronicled in these pages serves as an impetus for readers of all ages to conduct their own genealogical study. In addition, the discussion questions provided in the back of the book will inspire thought-provoking, in-depth conversations in classrooms and book study groups.
