The Undefeated

Overall great illustrations, per usual. The poem is decent and good for exposure either in supplementing other curriculum or introducing black history units. It brings up the more popular historical characters as well as the lesser known. I could have done without the authors notes, in my own opinion, just because someone is of a certain ethnicity doesn't make them worth history, their character and life experiences do that. Some are not worthy and others deserve the limelight much more.

I'd recommend this one, we have it as a Kindle eBook and it is very readable on a Kindle Fire device.

Words by Kwame Alexander and pictures by Kadir Nelson combine to form a perfect tribute to the courageous struggles of black Americans, through time, for justice, for equality, for a good life. Children and adults alike are left deeply moved after reading this powerful story of strength and persistence and endurance in the face of decades of torment and hatred and violence. This is a book that will be read and reread and shared again and again.
