From the Inside Flap
Reviews "Carole Weatherford has written a powerful narrative...of courage and compassion...This bit of history, not located in other history books, is worth reading by youth and adults alike. All--regardless of ethnicity--would benefit from this story describing the struggles and heroic deeds of some African-American males who took pride in making their contribution to the development of America." -- Bertha Todd, Co-Chair of Wilmington's 1898 Centennial Foundation--a non-profit corporation
