Reviews

African-American Heroes series. These books provide cursory looks at the lives of prominent African Americans. The writing is choppy, and the attention given is superficial. Quotations and photographs of the subjects, some as children, may be a draw for readers, but too often generic stock photos are used to fill up the pages. Reading list, timeline, websites.
