"History is written by the winners," is a phrase that is often repeated. However, it's not true. More often than not the losers write history. What we're left with is a sterilized view of history that does a great disservice to us all. These retellings are often filled with outright lies such as a George Washington's wooden teeth or are told in a way that would make the average person view it as too complicated. I'm here because history doesn't need to complicated, but it needs to be told, and told truthfully.
The purpose of Ultra Black History is to look at history from a decolonized point of view and provide the world with that information.
