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.
