Hand in Hand: Ten Black Men Who Changed America by Brian Pinkney, Andrea Davis Pinkney

4.0

Carefully researched, vivid detail highlights this fabulous biographical collection of ten important black men in America's history. As the author notes, it was difficult to limit it to ten because there are so many who have done so much, but these ten encompass the historical span of the US as well as including avocations such as politics, astronomy, sports, education, and activism. Each entry includes in-depth information about childhood influences, accomplishments, and challenges. I would have liked to have seen some primary source photos included and because of the publication date, it does not include Obama's second term as president. Overall, however, this is an excellent addition to just about any collection.
