《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评

A law professor who once served as the South's first black congresswoman, two jazz musicians, an explorer and fur trapper, a writer, and an educator and spokesperson for African-American rights are the subjects of these volumes, illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Although the series deserves praise for its diversity, research, and straightforward approach, the dull format and formulaic organization of the texts are distracting. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
