About
Noire History celebrates black history 366 days of the year through inspirational and motivational stories of pride, excellence, and power from across the Black diaspora. If you're interested in discussing or learning more about black history, this is the channel for you. Subscribe to get black history profiles and reviews of non-fiction books and documentaries.
(Note: In early 2024, I rebranded Noire Histoir as Noire History and decided to narrow the focus of the channel. Past reviews of fictional books and memoirs are moving to Noire Book Reviews (youtube.com/@NoireBookReviews), a new sister channel. Show notes and additional information about both channels are available at medianoire.com.)
