Cameo biographies along with Lee's famous pen-and-ink portraits make this book an inviting and inspiring browser for students as well as a useful reference to teachers, writers, librarians, black community leaders and the general reader. Both major achievements and little-known interesting facts are given on over 200 Americans. The coverage is broad: past and present leaders, performers, musicians and sports greats, scientists, writers and military men and women. The material is drawn from a newspaper feature which the author created in 1945. The feature continued until 1986 and has appeared in most of the major black newspapers in the United States.

"There are many stories we can spin about the past, but which stories get told? And by whom? One human being can shape our understanding of the past through the prism of his or her own beliefs and prejudices. And in this book Cohen reveals how historians--and other critical witnesses such as the writers of the Bible, novelists, and political propagandists--influence accepted accounts of the human experience. The depth of Cohen's inquiry, and the delight he takes in his subjects--even the practitioners of what he calls "Bad History," those villains who twist reality to glorify themselves and conceal their own terrible behavior--make this an authoritative and supremely entertaining volume. In The History-Makers, Cohen investigates the published works and private utterances of our greatest historical thinkers to discover the influences and biases that informed their scholarship and views of the world, and which in so many ways have informed ours. From the origins of journalism through television and the digital age, The History-Makers is packed with captivating figures brought to vivid life, from Thucydides and Tacitus to Voltaire and Gibbon, Ulysses Grant, Winston Churchill and Mary Beard. Rich in character, complex truths, and surprising anecdotes, the result is a unique exploration of both the art and craft of history-making that disturbs the dust on history and makes us think anew of our past and ourselves"--

Not many people can say their career has placed them center stage at as many historical happenings as Christy Bowe can. Bowe has photographed four presidents throughout their administrations, has captured the horrors of 9/11, and photographed three historical impeachments as well. Today, she is founder of ImageCatcher News Services, and her work can be found in prominent publications such as The New York Times and Rolling Stone. Now she aims her lens at the 46th President of the United States of America, Joe Biden. After being kicked out of Catholic school as a child, Bowe found her passion in capturing human moments in the biggest events. As 'Eyes That Speak' shares snapshots of significant moments in Bowe's career, she recounts the hardships and lessons that came from each, and their influence on her style and her photography. Her passion and warmth come through as she narrates the interactions and personal experiences that have altered her as a human and shaped her philosophy as a photographer. Christy Bowe is a passionate, determined photojournalist who never lost the fire that got her kicked out of Catholic school. 'Eyes That Speak' is a loving retelling of not just her experience as a photojournalist but of the kindness and compassion rampant in even the most competitive and high staked working environment. Her book is a reminder that humans are kinder than we know.
