Since the earliest days of slavery, African Americans have called
on their religious faith in the struggle against oppression. In
this book the Beatitudes -- from Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount
-- form the backdrop for Carole Boston Weatherford's powerful
free-verse poem that traces the African American journey from
slavery to civil rights.Tim Ladwig's stirring illustrations
showcase a panorama of heroes in this struggle, from the slaves
shackled in the hold of a ship to the first African American
president taking his oath of office on the steps of the United
States Capitol.Readers of all ages will find this a book to return
to again and again for encouragement and inspiration.
