Story
The Mis-Education of the Negro, originally published in 1933, is a book that discusses the flaws of Eurocentric curricula that ignores African American history and culture. Dr. Woodson claims that Black people of his day were being culturally indoctrinated in American schools. He believed the system neglected to give African American students a proper sense of who they are within society; it failed to prepare them for success and caused them to seek out inferior positions in society.

I am personally not a fan of this narrator, however, this book was well worth the risk and honestly he wasn't that bad this time.

Incredible tale. Incredibly poor narration.

Perhaps a better rest than a listen.

Quite a remarkable take of a lesser known American explorer. Perhaps reading this will suit you better than listening to it.

Story
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

You are about to learn how to stop taking bland, uncreative, amateurish photos on your expensive camera! This audiobook is what you need to bring your A game in digital photography even if you’ve never been to a photography class. All you need is curiosity, passion for photography (which I assume you have since you have an expensive digital camera), and willingness to take action and experiment as you put what you learn here into action!

Could have been more about photography basics versus the history but I won't complain much more than that.
