This is hands down one of the best books I have read this year. Attention all libraries and schools buy this book. Beautifully written and illustrated. The Cover is gorgeous.

A great book for anyone seeking to learn how far we have come and how far we still have to go to reach equality in the U.S. A superbly written verse traveling through the times of American history as it relates to the progress of Black Americans striving for equal rights. From Frederick Douglass to Barack Obama, historical facts are relaying in verse with such grace, that each titled passage gives meaning and context to the subject.'

This is a book I would recommend to my students to read and reflect on, So much narrative brilliantly told in short, simple poems.
