Inspiring Collection of Biographies

Sonia Sanchez, Betty Shabazz, Zora Neale Hurston, Florence Griffith-Joyner. What do these women have in common aside from the fact that they're all African Americans? Answer: They've all contributed to the positive image of black women in America, and around the world. Buy this book for your home library. It's a wonderful reference book. Buy it especially for your daughters. They can read a story a week and by the time they're finished with the book, they will have a fairly good idea of the glorious strength and resilience of black women.
