Book Reviews of Great Black Heroes: Five Bold Freedom Fighters

Book Review: Better than average biography
Summary: 4 Stars

As a 6th grade teacher in a multicultural classroom, I am always searching for good multicultural literature for my students. This book is excellent because it covers some African-American leaders about whom we read or hear very little (Richard Allen and Fannie Lou Hamer). The reason I only rate it as better than average is because the biographies discuss only the positive in these peoples' characters and personalities -- never anything negative. My students need to see real people...not superhumans who never make mistakes!

Summary of Great Black Heroes: Five Bold Freedom Fighters

This easy-to-read biography describes the early lives of Richard Allen, one of the founders of the Free African Society, the first formally organized African American group in the United States; Harriet Tubman, a major conductor of the Underground Railroad; Mary Church Terrell, a founding member of the NAACP and a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement; Medgar Evers, the first field secretary for the NAACP; and Fannie Lou Hamer, a leading civil rights activist who gained national attention when she tried to vote in rural Mississippi.
