Description: This chronicles African Americans who fought for rights for their people. The individuals are ranked.

Arrangement and Presentation: Leaders are ranked from 1 to 100 with no scientific means of ranking the leaders.

Diversity: While the publisher is not well-known, at least through Internet search means, this is a great tool for teachers to use in researching African American leaders and a starting point, especially if they wanted to teach about these leaders during a month like “Black History Month.”
