This book consists of 17 biographies of remarkable men and women who, in 1921, were "unsung." Some of them are now pretty well known while others are still, sadly, rather unrecognized. Written by Elizabeth Ross Haynes (herself a African American activist and social worker in the first half of the 20th century), her heroes include Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Laurence Dunbar, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Alexandre Dumas, and many others. - Summary by kathrinee
