      Narrator JD Jackson delivers 44 short biographies of the most influential black Americans of all time, chosen by the staff of The Undefeated, a sports and pop culture website. Jackson's warm baritone makes an excellent companion to chapters featuring familiar icons, such as Barack Obama and Oprah, as well as lesser-known figures, such as Robert Abbott. This inspiring collection features activists, athletes, scientists, entrepreneurs, and musicians, celebrating their remarkable achievements against all odds. Jackson's performance creates a more approachable listen that resonates with the strength of each individual in a way that the physical book alone cannot match. An accessible and fascinating collection for young listeners that will leave them inspired to learn more. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
