Seventeenth-century sketches of Africa as it appeared to marauding European traders. Nineteenth-century slave auction notices. Twentieth-century sheet music for work songs and freedom chants. Photographs of war heroes, regal in uniform. Antebellum reward posters for capturing runaway slaves. An 1856 article titled" A Visit to the Slave Mother Who Killed Her Child.
"
In 1974, Middleton A. Harris and Toni Morrison led a team of gifted, passionate collectors in compiling these images and nearly 500 others into one sensational narrative of the black experience in America: The Black Book."""
"Now in a deluxe 35th anniversary hardcover edition, The Black Book remains a breathtaking testament to the legendary wisdom, strength, and perseverance of black men and women intent on freedom. Prominent collectors Morris Levitt, Roger Furman, and Ernest Smith, as well as Middleton Harris and Toni Morrison (then a Random House editor, now a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning Nobel laureate) spent months studying, laughing at, and crying over these materials from transcripts of fugitive slaves trials and proclamations by Frederick Douglass and other celebrated abolitionists to chilling images of cross burnings and lynchings, patents registered by black inventors throughout the early twentieth century to vibrant posters from Black Hollywood films from the 1930s and 1940s.
A labor of love and a vital link to the richness and diversity of African American history and culture, The Black Book honors the past, reminding us where our nation has been, and gives flight to our hopes for what is yet to come. Beautifully and faithfully presented, and featuring a new Foreword and original poem by Toni Morrison, The Black Book remains a timeless landmark work."

My favorite pimple patches
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
I've tried the competitor Mighty Patches and a couple other pimple patches. These are my favorite because they stay on the best and do the best job of healing/absorbing. The Microcrystal Spot Cover actually hurts a little when you put it on from the little spikes... but I love that because I feel like it's actually doing something! I wish they were a little more affordable.

Expensive but effective
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
This isn’t a miracle cure for acne, but it has proven beneficial for reducing redness and shortening healing time, in part because of how it works and also just as a barrier to prevent picking. Product does what the packaging says it will do. These dots are impressively thin. As the fluid is drawn into the patch, it creates a more pronounced white bump, but it is still thinner than typical extra thin hydrocolloid dressings. If you’re planning to walk around and be seen while wearing acne patches, these are a great option, even if they are expensive. If you’re going to be primarily wearing patches while you sleep and are at a place in your life where you just don’t care how it looks as long as it works, shop around and cut a patch to size from a large (4”x4” or so) hydrocolloid dressing, and it will do the job just as well.

Worked well, comfortable.
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
These patches adhere fairly well to my chin, over a very large cystic pimple. I admit, the microneedle patches I used before caving and picking were the Kill brand, not Rael. I figured I would buy both on the off chance I ised all the Kill stickers (whose price tag is honestly ridiculous). After the zit popped though, I found this brand to be preferrable to my usual HERO staple for a number of reasons: 1) While the hero patches are bigger and thicker, this brand was more comfortable to wear long term. As I was treating during my work day, I felt more confident with these thin, flexible sheets than with other brands. They're thinner, but seem to work just as well and are more comfortable. 2) They're practically invisible on my face. Now, it's not really possible to make these things disappear entirely. Because they're thinner, they do wrinkle some when I speak and tend to stretch on the skin. I will say that this recurring zit does live on my chin, so there may be more movement and wear as a result. 3) I feel less inclined to change them early. Because they wear so well, this brand was much less noticable on my face. I couldn't feel it and in fact, forgot it was there until I took a bathroom break. That made it easier to focus on getting work done rather than worrying about how it felt or looked. I did wear a tiny bit of concealer over these and no one seemed to notice. Overall, pretty good product.

Magic Spots make your acne..DISAPPEAR!
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
I like this product. I was nervous cause I am allergic to everything. However I got an ingrown pimple right under my nose. It hurt like a mother. So I bought these in hopes it would eat it off my face and I was pleasantly surprised. I put the one that has the crystals under my nose overnight. This morning it ate all the sebum around it and left a weak white head. When I removed the white head, I had a pretty decent hole under my nose. I put a dot from the pink box on it after disinfecting it and drying it off in hopes it will keep it protected while I wear a mask at work. I also had one in pink box on the side of my face in hopes of helping a ragged acne that I had scratched of the scab in my sleep the night before. So it was pretty rough skin. I slapped the dot from the pink box over night as well and my skin is soft. Its still a little red from where it was but its not raised and it doesn't hurt. These are pretty awesome. The adhesion sticks all night did not move ONCE. It was almost like removing a bandaid. They stretch well and fit over most acne spots and they are thick enough to not tear easy and hold all the gross that comes out of your face. I had no real expectations of the product because I wasn't sure how this face magic worked but it definitely does the trick when you have painful ingrown and just stubborn acne spots.

They work, but not really worth it
Style: Bundle, Size: 2 Piece Set
Off the bat, they work pretty well. It’s not a miracle and they do work but I’d look for something else before buying these again. The micro needle ones did help deeper acne but they break way too easily to justify buying. The packaging sucks and is confusing. The micro needle dots are two parts that work awfully together. I broke 2 of the 9 just trying to get them off the package. The miracle dots are slightly better but if you get it stuck to your finger trying to get it off, that dot’s a wash. The adhesive is good in some places and not so good at the edges. A few stayed on well and those that did were nicely transparent. These are not invisible but I’d run out with one on and I have darker skin. I took them off and noticed that fluid had been drawn out and overall, things were flatter and more calm. However, the amount of these things I threw away due to the awful packaging and just not adhering, I’d have to be at a last ditch effort to buy these again.
