Inspiring African Americans

This third installment of George L. Lee's fascinating 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 and later a Congregationalist minister, to present-day figures), over 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.
