Legendary East St. Louisans: An African American Series

This book is as regal as it is revealing and compelling. Artisans, athletes, educators, entertainers, scientists, veterans of wars and the Race Riot of 1917 join political leaders and poets in this dream- and performance-storied portraiture of African American East St. Louis. Authors-compilers Reginald Petty (himself a storied vault) and Tiffany Lee place local heroes and sheroes in a quilt of regional, national and global import. These individual and familistic achievements are worth being read, taught, and shared around dinner tables-and with congregations. -Eugene B. Redmond, Poet Laureate of East St. Louis, Illinois and Emeritus Professor English, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
