Reviews
Grade 3-6?Three well-written biographical profiles of seven notables in each of three fields, plus six shorter (three pages) biographies. The longer entries (six pages each) cover early years, skills developed, obstacles overcome, a personality profile, record of accomplishments, and special interests. Several quotes from each person are also prominently displayed in each featured biography. A number of well-known people are included in each title: Maya Angelou, Alex Haley, Alice Walker, Ralph Abernathy, Thurgood Marshall, John H. Johnson, Naomi Sims, Oprah Winfrey, Mildred Taylor, and Ernest Gaines to name a few. How or why the length of the entry was determined is not addressed, and many of these people seem to have equal importance in their fields. While the writing is informative, it is the candid photos that stand out. The attractive layout features a good balance of color, white space, photos, and text. Useful for reports and recreational reading.?Eunice Weech, M. L. King Elementary School, Urbana, IL

Taken from "Malcolm X" Malcolm X was released from jail when he was twenty-seven. He became the assistant minister in Muslim Temple Number One in Detroit, Michigan. He changed his last name from Little to X. The X represented the African tribe he came from but did not know. Malcolm quickly became well known in the Black Muslim community. The congregation loved his fiery sermons, and the leaders were impressed with his enthusiasm. Malcolm became the leading preacher for the Nation of Islam. He told African Americans to gain back their self-respect and urged them to use violence against white people because they treated black people so unfairly.
