Report: ‘The History Makers’ Book Dropped in U.S. for Ignoring Key Black Figures

A new book called “The History Makers” has reportedly been scrapped from publication in the US after it was accused of not highlighting enough black figures.

New York-based writer Richard Cohen told the Guardian how he tried to address the criticism by agreeing to a major rewrite of the book that already took him 10 years to pen.

“It was to do with the publisher’s sensitivities,” Cohen, who moved to the Big Apple from London 20 years ago, told the UK paper.

“I was then asked to write more, and have done about another 18,000 words,” he said, with new sections focusing on pivotal figures like Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois and Toni Morrison.

But the rewrite was not enough for Random House, which last Wednesday suddenly dropped out of the estimated $350,000 deal, sources told The Guardian. (Read more from “Report: ‘The History Makers’ Book Dropped in U.S. for Ignoring Key Black Figures” HERE)
