Anita L. Cole "Miami-Dade Public Library System" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Dictionary of American Negro Biography (Hardcover)

This book covers a number of African-Americans from early American history to the first two thirds of the twentieth century. The bios are usually about a page long. No Pictures.
This book has been deemed to be a core collection book for the Miami-Dade Public Library System, because it has a lot of people that aren't found elesewhere and because it is sited so frequently. Anyone interested in this area who can afford this book will not feel they wasted their money in purchasing it.
