Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-26 00:00:00 Liv Stivers Pedantic. The author was as dogmatic in defending his thesis as those whose ideas he strove against. The fact is there is evidence in the ancient world of conceptions of race, although such ideas took on a much more important role from the 19th century onward. Disappointed.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-12-11 00:00:00 Farai Nyandoro Angela Shelf Medaris does a great job of showing the courage Ida B. Wells-Barnett had. When Ida B. refused to sit in the smoking section, her life changed. The book is created using some parts of Ida's diary and newspaper columns which gives the reader more detail on the things Ida stood up for; lynching, votes for women, and Jim Crow Laws. This book would be used to discuss Ida B. and racism for forth and fifth graders.
