Carole Boston Weatherford’s treatments are a standout. She writes sensitively, but with a powerful swing; with both heart and hammer, her books are always a pleasure and an awakening. She does the brave and important work of keeping a piece of the past in the immediate present.–Esme Raji Codell, planetesme.blogspot.com
MISSION: To mine the past for family stories, fading traditions and forgotten struggles.
