A really insightful book! This book was honestly inspiring. It melded together the amazing stories of not only some of the most famous African American people in American history, but also many of the stories that are not always told. These are some of the most impactful ones. The information is clear cut and fairly easy to understand, and each page has a illustrated picture of the person being described. The font is quite small–as they try to give each person one page of information and no more–and everything is in black and white. Therefore, it is not the most eye-catching book while reading. However, if one can get past that, it is a really amazing book!
