My Own Researching and, Perhaps, Yours, as Well

        When I searched and now still search, the same lists of decades old works or dead authors comes to the fore. They’re great, but it’s a very limited list; and sometimes too dated and inadequate to the task.

        There are new views, researches, and voices now; yours, mine, and other Black, African or People of Color of all kinds, genders, shades, and persuasions to trigger great stories that tickle and touch or emotions and change our personal worlds; just a little, sometime a lot.

        Plus, most of the old lists look like People of Color did not exist nor love in historical times; such as the limited view of African Americans only being involved with Black Slavery, the Harlem Renaissance, or various "Black Struggles".

        Did you know Tsar / Czar Nicholas II of Russia, murdered in 1918 with his entire family in a basement (The House of Useful Purpose) in Siberia, had an African American employed servant? Now, how did he get there, what was his path, and what happened to him, once the royal family was arrested, held, then murdered.

        Hm, there's a story premise.

       General history makes it look as if our stories weren’t and aren’t storytelling worthy. Or never happened. Well, that’s an effing lie! If we can make up heroic "fake" European descent cowboys, entrepreneurs, etc., why not change their color and background, or gender, and see what happens.

        It probably did happen, and was suppressed.

        So, I’m adding lists and links of historical references of People of Color for the search engines to lead you in your searches and discoveries of things past to reshape our now and futures. And, if you wish to Swap Links, let's do that and help others find us, read us, and experience something familiar yet new in the shading.
