Notă biografică
William Loren Katz (1927-2019) was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Greenwich Village in a progressive family dedicated to social justice. After serving in WWII and attending college on the GI Bill, he became a teacher in New York for many years. The author of more than 40 books, many for younger readers including Breaking the Chains (reissued by Seven Stories in 2023), he documented the often overlooked contributions of black and indigenous people through history. Through his scholarship and educational outreach, he helped to refashion social studies curriculums across the country, encouraging the histories of minorities and women to be part of American history courses rather than siloed into their own fields of study. In one of his best-known books, Black Indians, he wrote, “I have been humbled by the awesome task of rejecting bias. I have never sought bland neutrality and have consoled myself that unbiased history has yet to be written.”
Herb Boyd (intro) is a journalist, activist, and teacher who has written or edited over 20 books, including Black Detroit and Baldwin's Harlem, a biography of James Baldwin, both finalists for NAACP Image Awards, and the anthology Brotherman: The Odyssey of Black Men in America, co-edited with Robert Allen, which was a recipient of a 1995 American Book Award. Several of his books inlcuding Civil Rights: Yesterday & Today, We Shall Overcome, Autobiography of a People and The Harlem Reader have been adopted for use in classrooms around the country. He has written for many publications including the Amsterdam News, Cineaste, and The Black Scholar. Boyd lives and works in Harlem, New York City.
Alan Singer (new chapter) is a social studies educator and historian at Hofstra University, and a former New York City high school teacher. Dr. Singer is a graduate of the City College of New York and has a Ph.D. in American history from Rutgers University.

He was a participating historian in “Defining Moments: The Civil Rights Movement in North Hempstead” and the editor of the “New York and Slavery: Complicity and Resistance” curriculum guide. He lives in Queens, NY.
Imani Hinson (new chapter) is a high school social studies teacher in Howard County, Maryland. She holds a BA from Hofstra University, an MA in History from Brooklyn College, and an Ed.D. from Virginia Commonwealth University with research focusing on chronic absenteeism and family engagement.
