(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Feelings. Quotations--chiefly from narratives by ex-slaves--are embedded in a clear, forceful, and orderly discussion and running commentary on the history of African Americans. The black-and-white drawings embody the simple, somber dignity of the text. This thirtieth anniversary edition of the Newbery Honor book contains new author's and illustrator's notes, along with the author's note from the original edition.
