WHAT AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN TRADITION!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cornrows (Mass Market Paperback)
THIS BOOK WAS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED. THE CORNROWS GIVE A SENSE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PRIDE AND HISTORY. THE BOOK ALSO GIVES SOME FOCUS ON THE PRESENT, BY INCLUDING PROMINENT AFRICAN AMERICANS, LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING, CARVER, AND MORE PRESENT ONES LIKE THE MUSIC DIVA ARETHA FRANKLIN! GREAT BOOK FOR NOT ONLY AFRICAN AMERICANS, BUT FOR EVERY RACE. ENJOY!

This review is from: Cornrows (Mass Market Paperback)
I mistakenly ordered this book and once I received it realized it was for children. I sent it back but read it anyway because it only took a few minutes. It's an excellent book for young people to learn to take pride in themselves and their heritage and it's an easy read.
