Reviews

[Born Uhuru · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very profound book that showcases Africa’s children under all banners of the world. It’s a short graphic book designed for children and adults. J.A. Rogers was one of our great teachers uniting us through literature. This book ask that you investigate further and come to terms with that not all greatness came from royalty. These brothers and sisters were just like you and me. Let’s rejoice in their memories. We are the children of the SUN.
