About the Author

Anthony D. Diallo.

Anthony D. Diallo is an author, scholar and speaker who spent years assembling the research behind The Definitive Black Trivia Book — a volume built to be argued with, quoted, and handed down.

His work runs from the kingdoms of the Sahel and the Nile Valley to the Caribbean diaspora, the Civil Rights era, and the inventors whose patents quietly hold up modern life. Every question in the book is traceable to a real, checkable source; nothing is included on vibes alone.

He speaks to schools, churches, corporations and families across the country, and hosts live trivia at book tour events where the questions are answered out loud, together.
