Ellington Was Not a Street by Ntozake Shange

5.0

Great story that is actually non-fiction, an author's recollection of the many memorable people that she met when she was a child. Great introduction to some illustrious African-Americans. At the end of the book the author includes two pages that describe each of the personalities that she encounters in the story. Beautiful poetry and illustrations.
