About This Book
From songs of the motherland to the work songs of slaves, from spirituals and gospel to jazz, this volume showcases the richness of expression and culture inherent in the music of African-Americans. Evocative paintings by award-winning artist Floyd Cooper beautifully capture the joys, sorrows, and triumphs of the African-American people.About the Authors or Illustrators
Wade Hudson's first book for young readers, a collaborative effort with Valerie Wilson Wesley, focused on a subject very important to him: role models for young African Americans. Since then, he has written several books in the Black Heroes series of profiles, as well as picture books, nonfiction, and plays.
