Jimi G.!<br />Yesterday my sweet Valentine gifted me w a copy of ‘Light in the Darkness!’<br />She saw it on the New York Times’ Black history month’s suggested reading list. <br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/06/books/nelson-mandela-by-kadir-nelson-and-more.html?_r=0<br /><br />The story is well told and based on Lisa Cline-Ransom’s research on Frederick Douglass, and tells the story of ‘pit schools’ where slaves taught each other how to read.<br />The illustrations are beautiful water-colors of very sensitive and expressive portraits of African-Americans. Almost all of the paintings are of night scenes, w moonlight and/or lantern-light as light sources. Hats off to the Ransomes for a job well done! -RQ<br />Robertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751501281929627657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-1389209188990584272013-01-29T20:05:38.185-05:002013-01-29T20:05:38.185-05:00Hahahaha, James overload!
