Book Description
In a reflective tribute to the African-American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home & the close-knit group of innovators that often gathered there, including Duke Ellington, Paul Robeson & W.E.B. DuBois. These men of vision lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, & even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater. Yet in the face of this tremendous adversity, these dedicated souls & others like them not only demonstrated the importance of Black culture in America, but also helped usher in a movement that ¿changed the world.¿ Their lives & their works serve as a guide to how we approach the challenges of tomorrow. Full color illustrations.
