What reviewers said

“* Fuelded by childhood memories of hearing the same Black History Month stories about the same people and events told the same way over and over, Smith, sought to convey the importance and relevance of African American contributions and milestones in a fresh, engaging manner . . . An inspiring, fresh take on a perennial topic.”
Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
“Succinct biographical info, included throughout, further cements the value and utility of the project, both in and out of the classroom.”
