150-Page Companion History & Story Text

More than an album, Unchained is a journey. This companion volume pairs with every anthem to provide the history, stories, and context behind the music. Across 150 pages, you’ll find a sweeping narrative of Black history in America — from the first ships in 1619 to today’s unfinished struggles for justice.

Blending research with lived voices, the text offers both a factual record and a moral call: remembering the pain, resilience, and triumph that shaped generations. Designed to be read on its own or alongside the music, it is both a guidebook and a mirror — grounding the listener in truth and sparking conversation in classrooms, living rooms, and community gatherings.

This isn’t background material. It’s the heartbeat of the collection.
