Jesse Jackson: Civil Rights Activist

128 pp. | Enslow | August, 2000 | Library ISBN 0-7660-1390-1 $$19.95
(3) YA African-American Biographies series. Jackson has been the subject of many juvenile biographies, but books about humanitarian and educator Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X, and author Giovanni, several of whose poems are included in the text, are particularly welcome. Though these profiles tend to be adulatory in tone, they are also well-researched and thorough in their coverage. Standard black-and-white photos accompany the texts. Time lines are included. Bib., ind.
