Description
- The courage and accomplishments of the men and women represented in this collection of Knowledge Cards—from educator, editor, and writer W. E. B. Du Bois (cover) to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., from athletes Kenny Washington and Althea Gibson to musical giants Leontyne Price and Duke Ellington-have changed the world in ways even they could not have predicted. Included are historical photographs drawn from the collections of the Library of Congress and brief biographies of forty-eight great African Americans.
- With portraits on one side and profiles on the other, these 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information—all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards.
