(3) K-3 "Our ancestors fought...so George could invent. George invented...so Jesse could sprint." Lyrical prose briefly introduces young readers to African American trailblazers whose deeds opened doors through which others, including the book's intended audience, could pass. Each double-page spread is illustrated by a different artist (e.g., Bryan Collier, the Dillons, E. B. Lewis), all presenting dramatic interpretations of the text.
