This book is clear, concise and engaging. It doesn't skirt issues of race - it explores the obstacles Still faced in both the white and black communities. Highly recommended.
Of William's determination and of his many achievements

This biograhy for young readers tells of William's determination and of his many achievements, with a little over 100 pages including black and white photos throguhout.
