expose your children to this hero!

unfortunately, carter g. woodson does not grace the halls of african-american history like the names harriet tubman, fredric douglass or sojourner truth. but he should! this book is a fresh start to those parents and teachers interested in teaching their children about the legacy of Carter G. Woodson - the world-renowned historian and creator of African American history month. the vocabulary section at the end of the book is helpful and can be used as a classroom teaching tool. my only complaint is the "amateurish" format of this book -- perhaps colour pictures or a more refined font would have been a better choice.
