This installment of George L. Lee’s four fascinating books of pen and ink sketches reaches out to include many famous people from the United States. Arranged chronologically (from Lemuel Haynes, a Minuteman in the Revolutionary War, to present-day figures), more than 150 cameo biographies accompany the stunning drawings and present both major and little known accomplishments of each of the African descendants. This is a wonderful resource for students, teachers, African American community leaders and the general reader.
