4.0 out of 5 stars WHAT AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN TRADITION! April 4, 1999
By A Customer
Format: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!

4.0 out of 5 stars For young children May 16, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
