I heartily encourage teachers to use this text for an Introduction in Black History month. This journey experience is wonderfully engaging through whimsical art rendered by 21st century artists. A simple poem, that tells the entire story of the growth from slavery to leader of this Constitutional Republic -is a uniquely inspiring story. It involves very communicative paintings of Rosa Parks to George Washington Carver. Ending with a rendering that creates a path of persons from another race enjoying civil rights and freedom born on the back of our African American community. I believe it is a great book for any age to perform projects insired by this book ( )
