This complete 22-volume collection of biographies celebrates the most influential African Americans in history. Based on Chelsea House Publishers' critically acclaimed book series that draws from the expertise of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research at Harvard University, each volume reviews the individual's message and significance in society today. Oral historian John O'Neal hosts each program that features lively interviews with leading authorities on the subject's life, accompanied by fascinating archival footage, photographs and period music that illuminates the inspirational and motivational factors in each individual's life.

 

"...uniformly excellent...handsomely packaged, this outstanding series is highly recommended and an Editor's Choice." - Video Librarian

"...a 'must buy' for any school or public library." - School Library Journal

"...these are important, informative programs that will motivate and inspire viewers to think about what can be done to affect today's crises in the black community." - Library Journal

"Solidly profiling historic greats and prominent achievers of today, these fine videos provide historic context for their biographical coverage of the careers and accomplishments of notables in science, politics, sports, literature, the arts, and other areas of life, from Mary McLeod Bethune to Colin Powell."
"...a useful resource for a wide range of history classes." - Booklist

"...well-conceived and executed...students will thoroughly enjoy these videographic renditions of historically significant figures; but the greater value of these works is the cultural, historical, and socio-political context in which the characters are revealed..." - Multicultural Review
