(4) YA Way People Live series. Looking at different aspects of African-American history, these accessible texts use both primary and secondary sources, giving readers a sense of enslaved Africans' daily hardships, the extremism of Jim Crow laws, and the exhilaration and daring involved in escape. The books' design, which includes black-and-white archival photos and drawings, is dull. Text boxes include supplemental information. Bib., ind.
