Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Bahni Turpin’s narration in The ABCs of Black History is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to convey the emotional weight behind each letter while maintaining a playful tone makes for a truly captivating listen. The story unfolds with perfect pacing, ensuring that even complex topics are accessible and engaging. For instance, the segment on 'K is for Kendrick' offers a poignant insight into the life of the late rapper, blending his music with his activism in a way that resonates deeply. However, at times, the rapid-fire pace might leave listeners craving more detailed exploration. Despite this minor critique, The ABCs of Black History remains an outstanding audiobook that beautifully encapsulates the beauty, bravery, and brightness of black history.
