Are you ready? Can you handle this truth? America's #history in all colors in 1 nonsegregated format.
My belief: "Within America's history-“I feel that we, as Americans, are all
equal and held together by a common thread. Like a treasured beaded
necklace of different colors, held together on a string, we are held
together by our necessities and our circumstances and our humanity.
Every color helps to make the necklace beautiful. We can never be a
totally separate entity! Americans of all colors are so integrated that
if we hurt one, we hurt all. Just like that necklace of treasured beads-
leave one out and the gap is seen. Break the chain and many of us are
lost.” What do you believe?

Beads on a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History
"Carefully researched and touchingly portrayed, this is a book that belongs in every library and classroom in America. I highly recommend it. It is an important contribution to the history of our nation, and is a good resource for historians of all types." - Elle Zeidon
"Ey Wade has written a unique and important book that put all racial History under one umbrella. Wade has done a tremendous job collecting information on all races, and all subjects related to them. "Beads on a String" is a piece of History that was missing until this book came out. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to understand more about how multiple cultures shaped the US to what it is today. Two thumbs up!"
"A Must-Read In So Many Ways
I just finished Beads on A String and in all sincerity I have to say it is a work of subtle genius. Several years back I read one of the most unusual history books ever written, "The Peoples' History of the United States." Anyone who has read that revelation of history as events that really happened, as opposed to events as reported by those who were left holding the most power, will see a similar sort of understanding in this amazing work by Ey Wade. An alternative title for her work could well be, "A History of the People of the United States. I can give this work no higher compliment.

I was consistently fascinated by unexpected connections, accomplishments and contributions being added to the ongoing tapestry of our country by so many people from so many ethnic and cultural backgrounds, that I simply couldn't put the book down. If I could ask for anything more, it would literally be just that...more.
This is the story of the heroes of our collective past. What is incredibly moving is that so many of these heroes have gone unsung for so long.
I can gladly recommend this book to anyone interested in the historical journey of the land we live in. Beyond that, I can just as easily recommend it to anyone who just likes a great read." - Johnathan Ellis
