In other words, the latest! We are up to our ears in wonderful new biographies of African Americans. We have your famous: Doc : the rise and rise of Julius Erving, Obama : the historic journey, Baldwin's Harlem : a biography of James Baldwin.
Your not-so-much in the fame department: The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks, Scared silent : the Mildred Muhammad story A mighty long way : my journey to justice at Little Rock Central High School .
And what we librarians like to call your 'collective biographies': African American firsts : famous, little-known and unsung triumphs of Blacks in America, The shadows of youth : the remarkable journey of the civil rights generation, Black genius : inspirational portraits of America's black leaders. They're 'collective' because the books cover several people. Nothing to do with communes. Help yourself to fresh-made history.
