The success of Kadir Nelson's short book and Debbie Allen's amazing dramatization comes from the engaging narrator of this story. The unnamed elderly black woman recounts African-American history from the American Revolution to present day, blending poignant personal memories and family tales with stories of famous people and events. Allen's memorable portrayal of this character, a powerful storyteller, turns faded past eras into vivid scenes. The tenderness of family relations mixes with hoots of Civil Rights pride and the brutal testaments of those kept "under the thumb of Jim Crow." Noted black inventors, artists, and sports and political figures are merged gracefully and elegantly with a sweeping view of world events. Together these paint a profound, poetic picture of the heart and soul of African-American history. S.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine. AudioFile Magazine. HTML:The story of America and African Americans is a story of hope and inspiration and unwavering courage. But it is also the story of injustice; of a country divided by law, education, and wealth; of a people whose struggles and achievements helped define their country. Kadir Nelson, one of this generation's most accomplished, award-winning artists, has created an epic yet intimate introduction to the history of America and African Americans, from colonial days through the civil rights movement. Written in the voice of an "Everywoman," an unnamed narrator whose forebears came to this country on slave ships and who lived to cast her vote for the first African American president, Heart and Soul touches on some of the great transformative events and small victories of that history. This inspiring book demonstrates that in gaining their freedom and equal rights, African Americans helped our country achieve its promise of liberty and justice—the true heart and soul of our nation..
