  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  From the first days of Emancipation to the modern Black entrepreneur, Black American Wealth takes readers on a powerful journey through the financial history of Black America. This deeply researched and emotionally charged book exposes the forgotten truth: Black Americans have always strived for economic independence—and often succeeded—despite facing systemic oppression, racial violence, and intentional barriers at every turn. In this compelling narrative, author Oliver E. Robinson traces the roots of Black wealth from land ownership and early Black millionaires to the rise—and destruction—of thriving Black communities like Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Rosewood, and Wilmington. The book explores the forces that interrupted generational wealth, including redlining, government sabotage, mass incarceration, and economic exclusion. But this is not just a history of struggle—it’s a blueprint for empowerment. Black American Wealth also highlights the modern resurgence of Black wealth-builders, financial educators, and investors who are reclaiming economic power through stocks, entrepreneurship, group economics, and smart planning. More than a book—it’s a call to action, a reminder of legacy, and a roadmap for the future.

  The 1987 murder of Lita McClinton Sullivan sent shock waves through the affluent Atlanta suburb of Buckhead, Georgia like few other crimes before it. The neighborhood, with its stately mansions and top-tier schools, was simply not the kind of place where women were gunned down in broad daylight. How many socialites had enemies so dangerous they would be murdered by a hit man pretending to deliver roses on an early winter morning? 
   
   
   
  Lita was an intelligent, accomplished, and stunning Black woman from a respected Atlanta family. Her interracial marriage to white millionaire Jim Sullivan was a newsworthy occurrence in 1970s Georgia. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before Jim's roving eye and controlling nature put Lita on edge, leading to a divorce years later. As the legal battle raged and Jim's financial outlook grew precarious, he had a chance encounter with an ex-con who said he could "take care" of Jim's wife problem . . . 
   
   
   
  Award-winning writer Deb Miller Landau details the shocking events that followed Lita's murder in 1987, including the surprising lack of evidence, racial bias in the justice system, and the international manhunt for Lita's killer. Full of twists and turns, legal battles, and the McClinton family's unrelenting dedication to justice, Landau's investigation is the first complete account of this tragic American crime.

  Spend twenty-four hours with the ancient Egyptians. 
   
   
   
  Ancient Egypt wasn't all pyramids, sphinxes and gold sarcophagi. For your average Egyptian, life was tough, and work was hard, conducted under the burning gaze of the sun god Ra. 
   
   
   
  During the course of a day in the ancient city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor), Egypt's religious capital, we meet twenty-four Egyptians from all strata of society—from the king to the bread-maker, the priestess to the fisherman, the soldier to the midwife—and get to know what the real Egypt was like by spending an hour in their company. We encounter a different one of these characters every hour and in every chapter, and through their eyes see what an average day in ancient Egypt was really like.

  Hitler's Crime Fighter - The...

  Nazi Germany, June 1943, Buchenwald concentration camp. The last place you'd expect to find any form of justice. And yet justice against the SS men who brutalised the prisoners here would be attempted by the unlikeliest of sources – SS officer Konrad Morgen.
  Nazi Germany, despite the atrocities it carried out on an industrial scale, still had legislation and a legal system, and Morgen used these laws to bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes. He was a fearless investigating judge and police official, and when he crossed swords with more powerful forces inside the SS, he was demoted and sent by Heinrich Himmler himself to the Eastern Front as an ordinary soldier in the Waffen SS.
  But Morgen's skills were still required and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in various concentration camps, including Buchenwald. As a direct result of his work, two concentration camp commandants were shot before the end of the war and he arrested three others. Targets of his investigations included Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the Holocaust, and Rudolf Höss, the infamous commandant of Auschwitz.
  Described by historian John Toland as 'the man who did the most to hinder the atrocities in the East', Konrad Morgen pursued Nazi Germany's worst murderers from inside the SS. This is his incredible true story.
