Maritcha: A Nineteenth-Century American Girl

This book told the story of a black woman who became a teacher in America when black citizens were given few rights and little recognition. I liked the family pictures included and the story. I would recommend this biography.

Yes!!!

Great story and unique graphic layout of the book made the historical information easy to access. Both my daughters (and I) loved it!

Ms. Bolden is well-known for her concise and impactful treatment of delicate, social-justice issues. She is an important teacher of truth for young and old adults, alike.

Interesting book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Black girlhood and history. It is a great read and collectors item.

Did not know this is a kids book, but still a great read.

I loved the whole book. I love black history. There is not much recorded back past a few slave journal entries if lucky. But this book is awesome with reality!
