Reviews
Gr. 7-10. The Lucent Library of Black History series examines significant events in African American history and places them in historical context. This entry about the Jim Crow Era, organized chronologically from Reconstruction through the Brown v. Board of Education decision, emphasizes the devastating and demoralizing effect of Jim Crow laws on the black community, and the eventual organized response that became the birth of the civil rights movement. Black-bordered insets within the text focus in on more specific topics and definitions, including the origin of the term Jim Crow. The black-and-white photographs and drawings that accompany the text are well captioned and clearly reproduced. This is a straightforward overview that will prove invaluable for homework assignments on the origins of the civil rights movement. Comprehensive source notes, as well as a listing of annotated further readings, Web sites, works consulted, and picture credits, conclude. Jennifer Hubert
