[Annamarie Carlson (she, her)]

Learn about African American genealogist and historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. in a Leaders Like Us picture book biography. Each book follows a similar pattern and ends with a timeline, glossary, index, text-dependent questions, and an extension activity.

4 stars for this biography which solved a mystery for me as I always wondered how Dr. Gates got his start.
