Black History Month

Scroll down to last year’s post to read my review on a favorite true account, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.  It’s his own (very moving) story of his life as a slave and journey toward and accomplishments after freedom.

There’s several biographies in the store of George Washington Carver.  Read at least one!  I read an old library copy to my kids years ago that  impressed us with the recipes he created using peanuts to make just about everything.

Up  from Slavery -  Booker T. Washington -  these are just three of the many 19th – 20th century inspirational people that every American should read.
