Having majored in history at the University of Miami while writing for two campus journals and subsequently working for two weekly newspapers, the author wrote columns and editorials based on his research and knowledge of Black History.. Saving his newspaper clippings from his college days and having saved his research and term papers over the years, he decided to write what he had learned about the history of Black people that he wasn't taught in school. As he begin his research, he quickly found out that there was a lot of information that he didn't know, and he thought he was 'pretty up to date on history,' he decided to write a book of some of the facts that were missing from the pages of our history. He surmised that if he didn't know it, there had to be so many others that didn't know it either, and he felt personally pressured to write a book on what he had learned, and after consultation with both friends and family, he set out amassing his research material and newspaper stories, columns and other historical data.The title was taken from a column he wrote for The Florida Courier, an affiliate of the nationally acclaimed John Sengstacke's Chicago Defender, while he was a student at The University of Miami, in which his research had discovered some Black facts that had been previously left out the mainstream history books. This book doesn't list greater known facts, but those people, places and things that have little or no mention in various other history books, so as not to overdo certain occurrences. Unless you have been vacationing on Mars for the last half-century, you know who Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is and that he begin his non-violent civil rights career at Montgomery bus boycott in 1956, so that fact is not mentioned in this book. Some of History's Missing Pages has those historical facts, people, places and things that have been overlooked, not mentioned, forgotten and/or misplaced, historically.
