Great for Kids and Adults

This is one of my favorites for kids and adults! Ruth Pelz writes a collection of easy-to read, interest grabbing, brief biographies of important African Americans, some of whom you may not have heard about. You've gotta read it and pass it on! Written for all ages, it will help African Americans better appreciate their heritage while helping others become aware of the rich contributions African Americans have made to American culture. Many kids can devour it in a single sitting.
