Beautiful illustrations and spirited quotes. I would have given it a whole-hearted 4 stars if it included more bio on each person. 3.5

Set up as a quick summary of the person and then the quote they gave with beautiful visuals, the book provides a wide variety of perspectives on black history and has me wanting more. Very simple but at the same time profound, the author chose quotes that might not always have been focused on black history in the moment but can be interpreted to explore a lot about their lives and those black lives around them.

I like it, but I was hoping for more. Even though the artwork was lovely, I thought it would more than a little biography snippet and a single quote per person.
