Review Quotes:
"Glenda Armand's gift is distilling the character of historical figures into vignettes that depict their true selves. With her as a guide, we experience history as immediate, present, and relevant to our daily lives. Highly recommended." --Linda R. Monk, JD, constitutional scholar and author

Review Quotes:
"As a teacher, I find Black Leaders in the Civil Rights Movement by Glenda Armand an important resource for my students when using it as a guide to identify leadership pluralism across the African American culture. These differences are not always found under one book cover and with further references. What better way in using the history of the civil rights movement as a lens for a self-evaluation of American society during a tumultuous time in U.S. history. The Explore More and Did You Know sections are self differentiating for various levels of interest and research for teachers and students alike. Students who wish to dig deeper into these important lives have a starting point to dig deeper and be inspired." --James C. O'Gabhann, elementary education teacher, Los Angeles Unified School District

Review Quotes:
"Armand's work brings to life the lives of real people who strove to achieve racial equality and the civil rights of Black Americans in the United States. This is an engaging resource for teachers and students of American history." --Catherine Proctor, teacher librarian at Pio Pico Middle School

Review Quotes:
"Glenda Armand, a seasoned and skillful author, has done a masterful job in the telling of the lives and experiences of the torch bearers of the civil rights movement." --Dr. Darryle R. Crump, president of Orange County African American Historical Society
