# From Me to You: The Power of Storytelling and Its Inherent Generational Wealth--An African American Story - Hardcover

by **Deidra Moore** (Author)

It all with a question:

My son, Justin, age nine, is the inspiration for this book. In September 2019, after attending a trip with Holocaust survivors, Justin and his friend began conversing about the Holocaust and slavery. Later that day, Justin asked **"So, Mom, what exactly was slavery about?"  
**

I **used** what I had:

Research, analytical, and communication skills, which allowed me to learn more about the **who, what, when, where, how, and why of the complex topic: slavery**. I filled the gaps in my own knowledge surrounding this difficult topic.  

I **did** what I could:

I created a teachable moment for our son and **_From Me to You_** was born!  

**_From Me to You_** is a multigenerational coffee table book focusing on multiple aspects of African American history and, by extension, American history. _From Me to You_ explores the social impact and economic legacy of the once central American institution of slavery from the lens of enslaved Africans and their descendants through accessible storytelling.

  

Starting with Ida B. Wells and ending with former President Barack Obama, _From Me to You_ features illustrations and short biographies of the most prominent nineteenth and twentieth century civil rights activists, centering their voices with quotes and affirmations anchored in the time in which they lived.

  

Special illustrations and quotes from **_Edwidge Danticat_** (award-winning author), **_Dr. Oneeka Williams_** (urologic surgeon and award-winning author), **_Dr. Pamela C.V. Jolly_** (international speaker and author), and the legendary **_Calvin Hill_** (retired NFL player) are within.
