Elizabeth Catlett.
This welcome new edition of a 1993 picture-book version of the song known as the African American national anthem is illustrated with the Harlem Renaissance artist's strong, stark, and striking black-and-white linocuts. As the original Horn Book Magazine review wrote: "the portraits and the lyrics tell a powerful story of struggle and triumph and hope." The musical score and a (poetic) new foreword by Ashley Bryan are included.
