Grade 6-10AOpening with lines from Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Weber traces the legal and social history of African Americans in the U.S. that led up to and followed that highpoint of the March on Washington in 1963. Archival engravings and primary-source quotations in sidebars enliven the background survey of the early slave trade through the founding of the NAACP. The author notes the importance of individuals such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, and A. Philip Randolph, as well as Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. The events of the 1950s and '60s, such as the integration of schools, public transportation and accommodations, growing urban tensions, and the rise of the black power movement are covered in greater detail. The book concludes with a look at the enduring problems and the lasting achievements. The material is attractively presented in short chunks and extensively illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs and reproductions. Suggestions for further reading offer a wide range of titles.AKathleen Isaacs, Edmund Burke School, Washington, DC
