(4) YA Black Stars series. These books introduce familiar (Oprah Winfrey, George Washington Carver) and not-so-familiar (millionaire Madame C. J. Walker, realtor Philip Payton, Jr.) African Americans who have made their mark in business and science from the eighteenth century to the present. Often poorly reproduced black-and-white photos accompany the very brief biographies, but even in their brevity, the stories of hardship and success are well worth reading. Time lines are included. Bib., ind.
