(4) YA African-American Biography Library series. These volumes ably (if somewhat blandly) chronicle the lives of their subjects, whose contributions in the arts are of historic importance. In Ray, Ford interweaves the man's trials, triumphs, and human foibles into an accurate but unexciting text. Zora is informative but doesn't manage to capture the exuberance of Hurston's outgoing personality. Many photos are included. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these African-American Biography Library titles: Ray Charles and Zora Neale Hurston.
