TIMELINES FROM BLACK HISTORY

TIMELINES FROM BLACK HISTORY by DK

I find timelines so interesting. They are very revealing as to why situations happened in history or people's lives. All the fluff or dress up of the story is set aside, and the cold, hard facts reign supreme. War is happening? You can see step by step the events that lead directly to the first encounter. A movie star won an Oscar? An artist a Grammy? Look at the path that got them to that place.

My interest was piqued when I saw DK's Timelines From Black History. This book is a collection of timelines from events in history, but also political leaders and their rising, and famous stars and their journey to stardom. Some may want to read the book cover to cover, but I find that I flip to my interest, read, and then flip again, and that's okay in a book like this!

Both styles have merit!

Illustrations and actual pictures abound on the pages helping readers find bits of interest quickly.

HEADS UP - Just a note that the first timeline is one of evolutionary beginnings.
