Tremendous educational resources for teachers, library workers, and a critical text needed now more than ever. Although it is aimed at middle school and high school students, the book is also essential for adults, particularly those wanting to understand more about Black history but also to understand afrofuturism. One of the great features of the book is all the guided activity suggestions, as well as the vocabulary words highlighted in different colours, the discussion Q&As, all of the authors who have contributed short stories and poems, and so much more.
