4-6Black Americans of Achievement series.
The civil rights activist and three prominent entertainers are profiled in readable biographies, illustrated with black-and-white photos. Though the Berry volume is somewhat padded by extraneous material, all the books successfully balance their subjects' professional achievements with their personal insights to create fully rounded portraits. Each volume contains a timeline and, when relevant, a filmography. There are four other new books in this series. Bib., ind. [Review covers these titles: Danny Glover, Queen Latifah, Al Sharpton, Halle Berry.]
