Darshana Khiani ，

Absolutely gorgeous and empowering。

- empowering introduction to African American history with beautiful images- celebrates the resilience， ingenuity， and perseverance of ancestors- great resource for introducing academic language and history units in primary grades （then & now， making a difference/biographies， ancestors， US history）

Becky ，

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。

5 stars for this celebration of the many talents and contributions of countless underappreciated （and appreciated） African Americans） I read this as a digital ARC

Margaux ，
