Good reference, but very brief snippets on each person. Could be used as a great starter to see who you want to dig deeper on.

I learned of a lot of amazing people through this book that were never mentioned in history before. I might be Canadian but this is extremely important for us all to read and know. People of colour are often erased from history and that's horrible! My only negative on this book is that I would have love to have learned more about each person!

Listened on Audible Stories.

Really good listen, 2 minute sound bites about 44 influential Black Americans. A good overview of their life which makes you want to learn more. I’ll be honest I’d never heard of a number of these but I’m glad I did today. Will be looking into buying a copy for my younger siblings.

This is a quick, but very informational book about many African Americans and their influence in America.

Of course, there were the common ones such as Barrack Obama, Jimmy Hendrix and Martin Luther King, Jr., but there were many others I enjoyed hearing about as well such as Katherine Johnson and Dr. Charles Drew.

Even though it is a kids book, I think it's a great reminder of people in history as well as a lesson on some that many adults would enjoy as well.
