Their actions may not have appeared to shake the world, but their contributions to shifting American culture were just as groundbreaking. African Americans have made history by challenging and changing the American landscape. This was accomplished not by shedding layers of originality, but by wearing their colors proudly and openly in the world. Growth has been made possible by a resistance to conformity and a fusing of cultures, African and American alike"--. $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Juvenile literature $v Juvenile literature $0 (DLC)sh2007100203 650 0 $a African American scientists $v Juvenile literature $v Juvenile literature $0 (DLC)sh2009113969 650 0 $a African American businesspeople $v Juvenile literature $v Juvenile literature $0 (DLC)sh 85002007 650 0 $a African American civil rights workers $v Juvenile literature $v Juvenile literature $0 (DLC)sh2009113954 650 0 $a Young adult literature. $0 (DLC)sh 85149268 650 1 $a African Americans $v Biography $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut7188892089736 650 1 $a African American scientists $0 (DLC)sh 85001898 650 1 $a African American businesspeople $0 (DLC)sh 85002007 650 1 $a Civil rights workers $0 (DLC)sh 85026385 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 tlcgt 941 $a 2 952 $l OOAX232 $d 20220902010213.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20220405015329.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DFE7ABEC04311EBA001E02053ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
