One way to learn history is through dramatic interpretations. This book profiles 14 African Americans whose courage & convictions helped change our world. Accompanying each profile is a skit that encourages readers to perform an event related to the person's life. For Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the skit focuses on a family discussing the impact of his life; for Charles Drew, the skit involves schoolchildren learning about Dr. Drew, for whom their school is named; for Mary McLeod Bethune, readers learn about the school she founded. Garrett A.

Morgan, Frederick Douglass, Maggie Lena Walker, & Ida B. Wells are also included. Index.
