America's Black Wall Street goes beyond the usual account of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of Black Wall Street. Amusan provides a historical and political context, a brilliant, yet overlooked explanation for this massacre and others across the United States. He takes us back to the Indian Territory, the settlement of the Five Civilized Tribes, the political and financial conflict between the tribes, their freedman, black resistance, and political strides. 

Amusan proclaims, "the biggest fear of white supremacists is Black political independence and domination." He draws connections between the historic roadblocks for Black voters and today’s efforts to suppress the Black vote, which are often highlighted during community celebrations like the Juneteenth festival. His conclusions, based on extensive research, support the idea of a deliberate campaign to destroy Black Wall Street and the Greenwood community, the financial threat it posed, and the threat of successful participation of Black citizens in the political process. America's Black Wall Street: The Untold Story of Broken Treaties, Black Resistance, Political Fear, and Sacred Ground is a must-read for those seeking a thorough understanding of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of Black Wall Street.

"Sky Full of Elephants" is a speculative novel exploring a post-apocalyptic America where all white people mysteriously disappear, leaving Black and multiracial communities to navigate identity, trauma, and societal reconstruction.

Cebo Campbell’s 2024 debut novel imagines a United States transformed after an event in which all white people walk into bodies of water and drown, leaving the country without its historical racial hierarchies.  The story centers on Charlie Brunton, a Black man who was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. With the disappearance of white people, Charlie is freed and becomes a professor at Howard University, focusing on electricity and sustainable power systems   Charlie's estranged daughter, Sidney, a biracial teenager, survived the event but lost her family. She contacts Charlie from Wisconsin, seeking to travel to Orange Beach, Alabama, where she believes survivors have gathered. 

Their journey through a radically altered America exposes them to the collapse of capitalism, abandoned cities reclaimed by nature, and the emergence of communal systems.  The novel explores themes of identity, racial trauma, and the reconstruction of society. It examines the tension between Black trauma and white guilt, the search for a unified identity, and the creation of inclusive systems in a post-racial landscape Charlie grapples with feelings of guilt and confusion as he navigates a world where his status is no longer dictated by white supremacy 

Throughout the narrative, Campbell blends speculative fiction, magical realism, and social commentary, portraying both the liberating and disorienting aspects of a society suddenly devoid of its former racial power structures 

The novel also addresses intergenerational trauma, the emotional weight of loss, and the challenges of rebuilding community and personal identity in a radically changed world.

In essence, Sky Full of Elephants is a thought-provoking exploration of race, power, and resilience, following Charlie and Sidney as they confront the ghosts of the past while forging a path in a new America
