Use this as a read aloud for young students, and as additional reading for history and culture with older students. The narrative is written to convey and reflect the speaker’s dialect and provides an amazing voice to the story. The end pages include discussion questions and classroom activities.

Publisher's Description of Heart and Soul: Story of America and African Americans
Heart and Soul is about the men, women, and children who toiled in the hot sun picking cotton; it's about the America ripped in two by Jim Crow laws; it's about the brothers and sisters of all colors who rallied against those who would dare bar a child from an education. It's a story of discrimination and broken promises, determination, and triumphs.
Kadir Nelson's Heart and Soul—the winner of numerous awards, including the Coretta Scott King Author Award and Illustrator Honor, and the recipient of five starred reviews—is told through the unique point of view and intimate voice of a one-hundred-year-old African-American female narrator.
This inspiring book demonstrates that in striving for freedom and equal rights, African Americans help our country on the journey toward its promise of liberty and justice—the true heart and soul of our nation. The paperback edition also features eight pages of discussion and curriculum material.
