| Summary |
In a richly designed work with maps, portraits, and graphics throughout, the award-winning author of the Jumbies series shows listeners this underrepresented side of Black history and Black excellence. Every year, American schoolchildren celebrate Black History Month. They study almost exclusively American stories, which are not only rooted in struggle over enslavement or oppression but also take in only 400 years of a rich and thrilling history that goes back many millennia across the African continent. Through portraits of 10 historical figures - from Menes, the first ruler to be called pharaoh, to Queen Idia, a 16th-century power broker, visionary, and diplomat - African Icons takes listeners on a journey across Africa to meet some of the great leaders and thinkers whose ideas built a continent and shaped our world. |
