This review is from: Famous American Negroes (Hardcover)

My fifth grade teacher helped me to appreciate this book. Everyday after lunch was a treat. My teacher selected a story from this book to read. This was an introduction to Black History before it became popular. In those day we celebrated "Negro History Week."

As a teacher I read this book to my students. I purchased this book through Amazon.com. In this in day and time, this publication is not important. But I treasure it. I am happy to own a copy of "Famous American Negroes."
