Description

The US Constitution is one of the most important documents in our nation's history. But this document has left out certain groups of people, such as Black people and women, and not everyone has benefited equally from the Constitution. Learn about the story of the US Constitution, including the important people and documents that inspired it, the people who were left out of its creation, and the amendments that have been made.

Have you ever considered what's missing from history books? In Left Out of History, explore the misunderstood and underexamined past in this engaging series. Compelling photographs and primary sources help bring previously buried history to light.

Read Woke(TM) Books are created in partnership with Cicely Lewis, the Read Woke librarian. Inspired by a belief that knowledge is power, Read Woke Books seek to amplify the voices of people of the global majority (people who are of African, Arab, Asian, and Latin American descent and identify as not white), provide information about groups that have been disenfranchised, share perspectives of people who have been underrepresented or oppressed, challenge social norms and disrupt the status quo, and encourage readers to take action in their community.
