Not my favorite from the Creative Minds Biography series. Short chapters that started a little slow but my interest increased as I kept reading. I appreciated that the information was presented neutrally and showed some of the things Booker did that people did not agree with and why. While at the same time explaining his history and why education meant so much to him and all he did to make that possible for other black students.
