African-American leaders, scientists, entertainers, teachers, and sports figures have played central roles in shaping American history. Packed with vintage photographs that bring both the subjects' frustrations and victories to life, our highly acclaimed Journey to Freedom collection offers honest biographies of people such as Alice Walker, George Washington Carver, and Thurgood Marshall and recounts such crucial happenings as the Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington.
