The National Museum of African American History and Culture, opened in 2016, offers a narrative of America's history through the perspective of Black experiences. A visit to the museum emphasizes the significance of exhibits featuring well-known figures like Barack Obama, who represents hope and resilience. Recently, a selection of ten biographies for children brings these stories to a young audience, ensuring that Black history resonates with them, thereby promoting a broader understanding of its necessity in the American narrative. These resources affirm that knowledge of Black history is essential for all readers.
Now, thanks to a sampling of 10 recent biographies, young readers too will find out about notable Black Americans. Black kids will connect with their own history, and everyone else will learn how integral those connections are to American history.
It's easy to identify with young Barry's struggle to find his place in the world and his growing "hunger to make the world a better place." Thankfully, Obama's story concludes with his optimism: "I think that over time people respond to civility and rational arguments."
