Students Review Multicultural Text


Dinner at Aunt Connie's House by Faith Ringgold

A Book Review by Hannah and Wendy

We gave this book five out of six stars. This book shows famous Black Americans and their accomplishments.  For example, Dorothy Dandridge, Zora Neal Hurston, and Madame C.J. Walker.  Madame C.J. Walker's invention is the hair straightening comb also known as the hot comb.  There are many more famous Black Americans.  Did you know that if the typewriter had not been invented, we probably wouldn't have the keyboard.

Hannah said, "I really enjoyed this assignment because I learned about famous African Americans."
Wendy said, "It was great being on the announcements.  It made me feel important!"
