Illustrated by
Ansel Pitcairn.
Twenty profiles focus on how each person overcame obstacles in order to reach his or her goals. A fluid writing style and the range of personalities--from Frederick Douglass to Joe Louis to Judith Jamison--will appeal to a wide audience. Pitcairn's paintings bring these heroes to life. Reading list, source notes.
