The Cayton Legacy: An African American Family

Rating:
Summary: fascinating
Review: What an amazing and fascinating family! This is a great look at some important individuals, what they contributed to our history, and how they grew up in this country. The author weaves in great details of family relationships and their public lives, along with the local and national picture. It told me a lot about America's experience in race relations on a personal level. I really enjoyed the human side of their story, nicely captured in the straight forward prose.
