For centuries, Black brilliance has been erased, co-opted, and silenced—hidden behind institutional barriers and historical distortions. This powerful book unveils the systematic suppression of Black intellectuals, inventors, and scholars while exposing the rigged systems that limit access to education, economic power, and recognition. From the myth of meritocracy to the digital age of suppression, "Erased Before Excellence" uncovers how Black genius is controlled and commodified, yet never truly eliminated. This is not just an exposé—it is a call to reclaim, amplify, and protect Black excellence. The future does not belong to those who erase—it belongs to those who reclaim.
