Inspiring African Americans : Black History Makers in the United States, 1750-1980

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.
