When the term "Black Jobs" began trending on social media, I paused. I wondered if people realized that what was used as an insult actually held power—power that belongs to Black people. This power signifies that it is our story to tell, a story about the unpaid and low-waged Black labor that built this country. A story about mothers who worked from dawn to dusk and fathers working three jobs to feed their families. Their descendants became teachers, engineers, doctors, and lawyers. They became Supreme Court Justices, Mayors, President and Vice President of the United States of America.
In "Black Jobs: A Photographic History, From Slavery to The White House", you will find striking images of slaves who were paid not with money, but with food their masters didn't want and houses with dirt floors. Turn the pages to find photographs of black people during Reconstruction the Civil Rights Movement until today. Long overdue, this book will be released on May 30, 2025. Visit sheliapmoses.com for more information or to pre-order your autographed copy.

ABOUT THE COVER:
Harold Edward Evans, Sr. was a pioneering African American professional who broke barriers in the pharmaceutical and engineering industries. During his career, he worked at several prominent companies, where he often stood out as one of the few, if not the only, African American employees in his field.
At Warner Lambert, which later became Warner Chilcott, located in Morristown, New Jersey, Harold was the only African American working in their lab. He dedicated approximately six years to this role, contributing to the company's scientific advancements during a time when diversity in such spaces was rare.
Before his tenure at Warner Lambert, Harold worked for Celanese Coating Company in Newark, New Jersey. He later concluded his impressive career at Lummus Engineering Firm in Clifton, New Jersey, where he continued to exemplify excellence in his field.
Throughout his career, Harold Edward Evans, Sr. not only contributed to the companies he worked for but also paved the way for future generations of African American professionals in science and engineering.
