A calendar so good, it should be a book!,
This review is from: A Visual History of African American Oscar Nominees 2008 Calendar (Calendar)
I felt A Visual History of African American Academy Award Nominees 2008 Calendar was so amazing, I purchased 2 of them. One for my wall, the other for a keepsake. I have never read such an original and inventive calendar before. It tackles a subject that is so rarely touched upon, and sheds light on performers who have been honored by America's highest entertainment award.
The cover is somewhat misleading because it really doesn't sparkle as much as the truly amazing interior pages, although it is a very nice piece of art. I highly recommend this product for anyone interested in film history, black history, or who simply want to be inspired by these talented performers.

This review is from: A Visual History of African American Oscar Nominees 2008 Calendar (Calendar)
This calendar is fantastic. The historical information it provides about African Americans is superb. I had no idea these facts existed. To have a visual history that I can share with my children, grandchildren and others, is priceless. This can be used as a teaching tool.
