3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great photographical resourceBy edithThis is a very nice collection of photos. There is enough information about the photos to really get a feel for the time period and what was happening in the Black culture. Lewis did a good thing by putting this collection together. It showed the determination and integrity of Black Americans to survive and succeed in a difficult time for them in White America.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
