d.e.a.r


remeber n school when your teacher would say D.E.A.R. lol well u need to get out there and put a book n your hand.

Every tale in Black History needs a legend, and the Lairds effectively pinpoint the heroes of each era. They lay out the rich African-American tradition of resilience through the lives of Nat Turner, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Madame CJ Walker, Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., men and women who have transcended their own lives and have become enduring icons of perseverance. “No matter where we wind up,” remarks the wizened cartoon couple who narrate the comic book, “One thing our history has taught us is that though we may have started in America at the bottom of the ladder, any of us can climb our way to the top….” Those who already are familiar with the landmarks in African-American history will find the stories in Still I Rise both historically accurate and politically reflective of that mantra. thankz to allhiphop for the reviews..shyts crazy big ups
