THE HISTORY OF CREATIVITY: IN THE ARTS, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY: 1500-PRESENT SUPPLEMENT (RE... Book

Fantastic book- everyone should be made to read and study this book in high school or college. I have read and re-read this book and was amazed by the obvious stories I knew- Mississippi Burning etc., but what saddened me was how many every day and crucial heroes and people that I did not know about and I owe my very rights and civil liberties to what they did for me someone they did not know. We talk about the civil rights movement as something so long ago and we are hazy on facts we say yeah it was a bad time in history but that is over now, but we owe it to ourselves, children and future generations to never forget the names and faces of these people, who lead the way to a better life for me and other generations. I asked my parents , who lived through segregation if they knew some of these people and they did not; they went through and read the book and were very impressed as well. I use this book as a reference point and use topics or people in this book to drive topics in my art and where we are with the civil rights movement. I cannot say this books praises enough. The foundation responsible for driving this book and its history also I has a great backstory. I encourage you to look it up and read about it.
