African American students from colleges and universities all over the United States give detailed accounts of their college experiences, including racism and sexism. I believe this book will be a great source of information for high school juniors and seniors, when selecting where they choose their higher educ

My favorite part of this book is the portraits. They bring the interviews to life. It was interesting and informative to learn about different students across the country. I didn’t like the illustrations on some pages. They were distracting and took away from the interviews. The colors and shapes and some of the drawings just weren’t very appealing, visually to me. I think they should’ve just stuck with the portraits. Overall I would recommend this book.
