Books by Alice Faye Duncan

The true story of Black activist Opal Lee and her vision of Juneteenth as a holiday for everyone will inspire children to be brave and make a difference. Growing up in Texas, Opal knew the history of Juneteenth, but she soon discovered that most Americans had never heard of the holiday that represents the nation's creed of 'freedom for all.'

Gwendolyn Brooks crafted poems that captured the urban Black experience and the role of women in society. This book celebrates her life and work.
