Nonfiction Monday

This Nonfiction Monday is also Martin Luther King's birthday.  My recommendation is Heart and Soul:
The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson. This book presents a unique view of American History and is reviewed in yesterday's post. Please  feel free to add your comments.

    Hi! Many thanks for hosting this week. Our contribution in GatheringBooks is Cathy Day's "The Circus in Winter." :) I've been intrigued by Kadir Nelson's Heart and Soul for the longest time now. I'm hoping I can get my hand on a library copy soon. :)
