A beautiful remembrance and retelling of African American history。 The acknowledgment about freedom being taken away is shared but the perseverance， accomplishments and sacrifices made are shared throughout this beautifully illustrated picture book。 The legacy shared will leave readers feeling a sense of pride。

Beautiful images accompany the history of Black Americans， from their roots in Africa， to their journey to America as Enslaved People， and their innumerable inventions and contributions to our country。
