Dr. Columbus Salley has selected the one hundred most influential African-Americans of all time and then ranked them according to their contributions to cultures worldwide and the struggle for equality. From Dr. Martin Luther King (1) and Harriet Tubman (12) to Louis Armstrong (68) and Arthur Ashe (98), here are the one hundred who have fundamentally altered the ways in which millions of Americans -- of all colors -- live in our society. For each of the one hundred, Dr. Salley provides a biographical sketch and an account of the reasons for each individual's rank.
Love this book! It is great for school research papers and just overall general knowledge of great african americans. Contains rare information about popular and not so popular names.
