Black Profiles in Courage: A Legacy of African-American Achievement
$22.00
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar examines the lives of heroic African-Americans and offers their stories as inspiring examples for people who too rarely encounter positive role models in history texts, schoolrooms, and the media. From Revolutionary War heroes like Crispus Attucks to antislavery activist Frederick Douglass, from frontiersmen like Bass Reeves to scientist Lewis Latimer and artist Duke Ellington, Black Profiles in Courage forcefully documents that African-Americans have always been an integral part of the fabric of our nation, and that they helped to weave that fabric.
