Читать книгу The Book of Awesome Black Americans - Monique Jones - Страница 5

To everyone important in my life; you know who you are.

To W.E.B. DuBois who came up with the idea for an encyclopedia of African diasporic excellence. To Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Kwame Anthony Appiah for following through with that idea by creating Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African-American Experience. Your work inspired and educated me as a child, and I hope this book passes on that same spirit of learning and pride.
