The six-part BET mini-series follows the life of Aminata Diallo, a young African girl kidnapped by slave traders and brought across the Atlantic to North America. In the course of her long and hard life, Aminata is a witness to major events in the slave trade and the history of Black North Americans. Over seven chapters, the app provides a timeline of Black history from 1705 to the present day. In addition, it explores the historical grounding of both the novel and series in the original Book of Negroes historical document, which identified Black slaves who fought for the British during the American Revolution. Using images, videos, and interactive maps, the guide follows the far-reaching impact of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. For educational settings, the guide features optional discussion questions and further investigation of the various topics. An intuitive interface allows users to swipe, tap, and scroll through chapters to engage with interactive features in a linear or nonlinear fashion, and gain a deeper understanding of the historical events portrayed in The Book of Negroes. ## The Book of Negroes Historical Guide Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple5/v4/72/b5/1f/72b51fda-ebca-0fb7-277c-9bb7f81f71b3/pr_source.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple3/v4/80/5b/df/805bdf44-4607-d5a9-7f90-ef806776ee92/pr_source.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple1/v4/84/c7/db/84c7db4e-262d-28b8-3dbe-bb5680f3a140/pr_source.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple5/v4/e5/8b/44/e58b44b4-807c-2ac2-e271-15037f19afc4/pr_source.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple5/v4/56/91/e2/5691e2d9-943b-dd10-1ba3-208eb0cbbdff/pr_source.jpg/960x640.png) ## The Book of Negroes Historical Guide Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 27 (73%) - 4 stars: 3 (8%) - 3 stars: 1 (3%) - 2 stars: 2 (5%) - 1 stars: 4 (11%) ## The Book of Negroes Historical Guide Reviews in United States ### *---- "Yahweh" I must say I saw a review of this app and one brother put it so beautifully it brought tears to my eyes.Some folks are truly not seekers of the most high and are simply trained and willing to continue a lie until it becomes truth.lots of blacks are not aware that a majority of us are Hebrews and the original Hebrews way before the Arab conquest and our history doesn’t begin in the 16 th century when Europeans started recording their so called time.Time will tell and logic will tell you simply can’t continue going against the natural order and expect good to come back forever.Judgement cometh.Chickens are Coming home -- Sonsofkings, 2019-01-21 ### *---- "Absolutely Trash" We all know this was not written by a black person. -- palenplump, 2018-11-27 ### ***** "Great Series ✨" 1986 Zulu remake in the mix @BETNetworks ? -- Tranquilroc, 2016-06-08 ### ***** "Thank you BET" I just love how it tells you about and what black people have to go through back then. -- Rasta-lion-09, 2015-08-06 ### ****- "The Book of Negroes - thank you BET!" I had an opportunity to finally view the miniseries and was completely enamored with the this story of survival and love. I want to thank BET for bringing this story to life. There are so many stories of Black people forced into slavery who fought back and survived. Unfortunately, these stories are not readily available nor taught I our schools -- Laveece, 2015-04-06 ### ***** "BON" I simply love this app. It helped me to gain even more knowledge of slavery. Being African American it's hard to find app like these ️an this one does a great job. -- Bettybopz, 2015-04-04 ### *---- "Whitewashed version of events" Nice app. Nice movie. But like most things of this nature, it totally glosses over and whitewashes things that happened in the slave trade and cuts straight to the things we already know. The movie and the app is pretty much preaching to the choir. If you're carrying a grudge or have a chip on your shoulder, this app is for you. If you're looking to learn the history behind this atrocity, look elsewhere. -- Lungho69, 2015-02-26 ### *---- "GreatPromo advert but LackingContent..." This is a well done promo for the novel and miniseries; kudos to the slick production team. However, the app chews up nearly half of a GB in data memory and offers very little of substance (for anyone either above primary school or beyond a level of bigoted willful ignorance) but of course it's free and you get what you pay for. I think reviewer "Mke9634" said it best in his Feb 23, 2015 review: "5th grade level propaganda..." And that's sad - this could have been so much more than it was. -- sjm49, 2015-02-26 ### ***** "LOVE!! 😍" I RECOMMEND this lovely app of huge information. Easier to watch videos and read to learn history! -- 12purple12, 2015-02-26 ### ***** "Wow" It's just....wow -- Fang512, 2015-02-25 [View all The Book of Negroes Historical Guide reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Book of Negroes Historical Guide Discovered Keywords - black history - bet networks ## Apps Similar to The Book of Negroes Historical Guide - [BLK PRIME](https://apptail.io/app/blk-prime-bap/united-states) - [Black Cinema Plus](https://apptail.io/app/black-cinema-plus-brqb/united-states) - [Africa Prime](https://apptail.io/app/africa-prime-wnFb/united-states) - [Brown Sugar - Badass Cinema](https://apptail.io/app/brown-sugar-badass-cinema-zHJb/united-states) - [kweliTV: Binge On The Culture](https://apptail.io/app/kwelitv-binge-on-the-culture-pNWc/united-states) - [ABFF Play](https://apptail.io/app/abff-play-Tfwd/united-states) - [Larry Reid Live](https://apptail.io/app/larry-reid-live-fEuf/united-states) - [CleoTV](https://apptail.io/app/cleotv-lMBj/united-states) - [The DL Hughley Show](https://apptail.io/app/the-dl-hughley-show-AFCj/united-states) - [Bounce TV](https://apptail.io/app/bounce-tv-Pswk/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
