Recenzii

"Reflections from this rich variety of persons whose lives were a part and parcel of that once vibrant community make for a compellingly grand and informative narrative."—Mahmoud El-Kati, Macalester College
"I truly enjoyed reading the stories of this distinguished group of African Americans, many of whom I have come to know quite well. Through their voices, I now have a much deeper understanding of the community that nurtured their talents."—Dr. Patricia A. Harvey, former Superintendent of Saint Paul Public Schools
