Need to Market your historical fiction with people of color or
black leads?
Black History isn’t actually “black”; but about those of African
descent, and such lives are throughout ALL HISTORY and PREHISTORY, not just
Urban, Harlem Renaissance, and American and European “Black” Slavery. Newer sciences
say ALL PEOPLES began in African and have become many flavors of humans, in all
sorts of lovely shades and features.
And back when Europeans were cutting up the entire continent of Africa
like a dessert pie, each of those slave states had interactions and
intermarriage with Africans. These “mixed race” and “biracial” people have historical
stories too.
Ancient Romans enslaved everyone but also freed many and took
anyone into their vast armies, during and after the Romans there was a long
history of castration cities in the Mid-East and Asia providing eunuch slaves,
few of those were “black”, many were other colors.
England then Great Britain plus Europe and Russia had perpetual
serfdoms; where people were treated as their masters’ property stock, or they
were—many Russians were serfs (slave property) into the 20th Century
of the First World War.
