African-American Biographies series.
Bethune, born to former slaves in 1875, became one of the most influential African-American women in the country. This biography details her struggles for racial equality, her establishment of a school for black children, and her leadership in a number of national organizations. Black-and-white photos accompany the choppy text. Chronology, reading list, websites. Bib., ind.

African-American Biographies series.
Well-rounded, clearly written biographies explore the lives of the groundbreaking singer, inspiring writer, and successful entrepreneur. The books address personal setbacks and the roadblocks these individuals encountered due to racism, but the emphasis is on their triumphs and the legacy that each provided. Average-quality black-and-white photographs illustrate the texts. Time lines are included. Bib., ind.
