A National History Book needs to be written by the National Historian or someone who is commissioned to do so by the National Board of Directors. In my opinion, that person needs to demonstrate that he or she has the skills necessary to write such a book.
I look the work of people like Charles Harris Wesley (Alpha Phi Alpha), Marjorie Holloman Parker and Earnestine McNealey (Alpha Kappa Alpha) and see just how much work it takes to write a GREAT history book. I realize that I am not that person, not at this stage in life. I would be more than willing to serve as a research assistant to a highly qualified brother that the Board of Directors selects, if it is to be.
For what it's worth, I think the author/editor of our history book should at least hold an advanced degree in history, sociology, or anthropology.
