These competent (if uninspired) biographies present information about their subjects' backgrounds and then focus in on their later accomplishments. Wells-Barnett describes her journalistic work on behalf of education, voting rights, and anti-lynching laws. Obama (which ends with his entry into the presidential race) highlights the candidate's early interest in politics. Formulaic design includes photos, sidebars, and boxed quotes. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these African-American Biography Library titles: Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Barack Obama.
