Great Book

If you enjoy drama as much as I do you will enjoy these biographies and plays about famous African-Americans. I liked it because it includes doctors, artists, inventors, educators, athletes and civil rights activists. Kids and adults can read about them and act out a drama or reader's theatre production of the life of the individual. Social Studies skits are hard to come by and this one is easy enough for all ages of readers and beginning readers.
