Synopsis
A dynamic and hip collective biography that presents forty-four of America&’s greatest movers and shakers, from Frederick Douglass to Aretha Franklin to Barack Obama, written by ESPN&’s TheUndefeated.com and illustrated with dazzling portraits by Rob Ball. Meet forty-four of America&’s most impressive heroes in this collective biography of African American figures authored by the team at ESPN&’s TheUndefeated.com. From visionaries to entrepreneurs, athletes to activists, the Fierce 44 are beacons of brilliance, perseverance, and excellence.
