Author Study Books-Hand in Hand-Ten Black who Changed America

Hand in Hand-Ten Black who Changed America

Andrea Davis Pinkney
2012


 
Hand in Hand Ten Black Men Who Changed America outlines the magnificent work done by 10 amazing history changers in our world.  The book discusses each of the 10 by explaining their plight with the past and how they are remembered.  Each biographical section begins by displaying a poem that describes each of the historic moves they made, from Benjamin Banneker to Barack Obama.
 
I found this book to be extremely interesting, as well as educating to me.  I learned something new about each of these African American men, as well as learning about them for the first time.  Pinkney carefully selected these 10 to show a span across time and how times has changed America and America has changed time.
