YOU are a Bead on this String. Beads on a String-America's Racially Intertwined Biographical History
In case you haven't heard, This is Beads on a String, America's only multiracial history book to celebrates the contributions of ALL races/ethnicity to America's growth.
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?

"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
History is written in more than black and white.

Where in history can you find people from every ethnicity combined and having the story told of how they contributed to America? Beads on a String, America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History lauds loudly the accomplishments of all people who helped make America the great country it has become. Beads on a String is America’s first multiracial history book. Sometimes we forget history is for the formation of the future.
Why did I write Beads on a String- America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History?
It started off as a home-schooling Black history month project with my youngest daughter. One day my daughter and I were on the subject of Black History Month. We were irritated and frustrated (as a lot of people are) about the fact history of such a great race is illuminated once a month and on the shortest month and then she asked "When is White history month?"
"Everyday," I answered. Then (as children do) she started asking for the month of each race and the book where they were all included...there were none. We decided to make one. We should all be celebrated and recognized on the daily.

Beads on a String-America’s Racially Intertwined Biographical History, is the first and only book to bring America's racial history together within one binding.
My desire is to encourage unification in our understanding of contributions and worthiness of all races. I think it is way past time Americans realize history was written in more than Black and White and help our children learn this daily. Words can hurt or heal and either way their effect can last an eternity.
