Description:... This book provides capsule biographies of 332 of the nation's most notable African Americans who were not profiled in the 1992 volume. The Entries are arranged alphabetically, with all individuals meeting two general criteria for inclusion: First, they were born or they spent their childhood years in the United States; second, they have played an important part in the development of African American children by serving as role models. Anyone who died before January 1, 1976 is not included. (As written in the Foreword of the book).
