商品簡介

The first book of its kind, with comprehensive up-to-date details

Historic sites along the Mall, such as the U.S. Capitol building, the White House and the Lincoln Memorial, are explored from an entirely new perspective in this book, with never-before-told stories and statistics about the role of blacks in their creation. This is an iconoclastic guide to Washington, D.C., in that it shines a light on the African Americans who have not traditionally been properly credited for actually building important landmarks in the city. New research by a top Washington journalist brings this information together in a powerful retelling of an important part of our country’s history.
In addition the book includes sections devoted to specific monuments such as the African American Civil War Memorial, the real “Uncle Tom’s cabin,” the Benjamin Banneker Overlook and Frederick Douglass Museum, the Hall of Fame for Caring Americans, and other existing statues, memorials and monuments. It also details the many other places being planned right now to house, for the first time, rich collections of black American history that have not previously been accessible to the public, such as the soon-to-open Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Monument, as well as others opening over the next decade. This book will be a source of pride for African Americans who live in or come from the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area as well as for the 18 million annual African American visitors to our nation’s capital.

作者簡介

Jesse J. Holland is a nationally recognized journalist and media personality from Washington, D.C., who for years has combined his work as Congressional Legal Affairs Writer for the world's largest news organization, The Associated Press, with a love of African American history and news.

In addition to being responsible for coverage of the confirmation process of the last three Supreme Court justice candidates -- Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and failed nominee Harriet Miers -- Holland has written hundreds of stories about African-American politics, history, and news for the New York Times and for The Associated Press in Washington; Columbia, South Carolina; and Albany, New York.

In 2004, Holland became the first African-American ever elected to the Congressional Standing Committee of Correspondents, a congressionally created committee of journalists elected by their Washington, D.C., peers to represent the Congressional Press Corps in front of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Holland has appeared as a guest on African American and Washington political topics on C-SPAN's “Washington Journal,” ABC's “News Now,” and WHUT-TV's “Evening Exchange with Kojo Nnamdi,” as well as being the former host of “The Wednesday Agenda” radio talk show on WUMS-FM in Oxford, Mississippi, and former guest on the “Inside Albany” political television show in Albany, New York, and WIS-TV's “Newswatch” in Columbia, South Carolina.



Holland is a member of the prestigious National Press Club, the National Association of Black Journalists, and the Washington Association of Black Journalists and is one of the creators of the former newspaper comic strip “Hippie and the Black Guy.” He is also a co-founder of two NABJ chapters, the University of Mississippi Association of Black Journalists, and the South Carolina Midlands Association of Black Journalists. He is an active member of the Washington Press Club Foundation, which promotes and provides funding for aspiring female and minority journalists.

Originally from Holly Springs, Mississippi, Holland graduated from the University of Mississippi with degrees in journalism and English. While at Ole Miss, he was only the second African-American editor of the daily campus newspaper, The Daily Mississippian. He now lives in the historically African-American section of Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Hill neighborhood with his wife Carol.
