Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 11/01/2019 Gr 3–7—Harrison's biographies of trailblazing men are brief enough for elementary school children but enjoyable for readers of any age. The subjects include Benjamin Banneker, the inventor of the first full-size clock; Thurgood Marshall, the first African American member of the U.S. Supreme Court; and André Leon Talley, former editor-at-large for American Vogue. Harrison's ideas are thoughtful, thorough, and accessible. She acknowledges that not every exceptional black man in history could be included and adds several mini-biographies at the back of the book with accompanying illustrations. VERDICT This striking book will resonate with readers in search of biographies of pioneering black men in history.—Sara Jurek, Children's English Library, Stuttgart, Germany - Copyright 2019 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
