About Wilson Group Network, Inc.

What is BLACK CHRONICLE?


The Company's (Wilson Group Network, Inc.) humble origins began with the idea of its founder Maloyd Wilson to convert a series of abandoned historic black newsletters into a softbound book. After acquiring the rights to these newsletters and other materials, Mr. Wilson produced the first copies of this book and began selling it shortly, thereafter. The rest is history, the sales and responses to the new publication have been phenomenal and far beyond expectation.


Not since Alex Haley's all-time best seller "Roots" which debuted in 1977 portraying the saga of an African American family who tracked their linage from West Africa to America has many books on Black History and Culture had the same mass-based appeal to Americans of all ethnicities and backgrounds.


Wilson Group Network's prime product "The Black Chronicle", A Book that debuted in 1999 portraying the history of the African American people from slave ships in West Africa to the Civil Rights Movement in America, may be one of the few exceptions to the above rule. Already going into its fourth printing, the Black Chronicle like it's literary predecessor "Roots" which inspired millions of Americans to research their family heritage, is also inspiring many of these same Americans to research and soul search the untold truths of their nations past.
