February 3: Black Firsts by Jessie Carney Smith

Author Jessie Carney Smith presents over four thousand accomplishments by African Americans in the fields of entertainment, business, civil rights, education, government, journalism, religion, science, sports and music.

A testament to a rich but often overlooked part of history, this volume captures the stories of barrier-breaking African American pioneers in all fields.

With hundreds of illustrations and a daily calendar of firsts, Black Firsts, Third Edition reveals stories of those who overcame adversity to emerge triumphant and celebrates those who have won personal victories against the forces arrayed against them.
