"Covers a wide range of groups in a uniquely selective way and is suitable for high school through college collections." - Library Journal "A welcome addition to collections in high school, junior college, college, and public libraries that seek to improve access to multicultural materials... There really is no other one volume work that provides this kind of broad coverage." - Booklist "Covers a wide range of groups in a uniquely selective way and is suitable for high school through college collections." - Library Journal "Best read as a representative sample of the nation's multicultural heritage. While most names will be familiar to readers, the book's strength lies in its descriptions of the many lesser-known individuals who worked tirelessly to improve their communities and whose contributions are no less vital than those made by the nationally renowned. Recommended for lower division undergraduates and general readers." - Choice
