(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. From the pen of a teenage Hughes, this lyrical piece celebrates a people's enduring determination to survive. Lewis's landscape paintings, in earth-tone shades cooled by the blues of the rivers, are populated with a cross-generation of African Americans throughout history and also of today.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
