I Have Heard of a Land
by Joyce Carol Thomas
National Book Award-winning author Joyce Carol Thomas draws on family history for this lyrical account of America's little-known past. In the late 1880s, thousands of pioneers, many African Americans newly freed from slavery, raced to the Oklahoma Territory. Here all one needed to stake a claim was hope and courage--and the determination to journey west. Richly illustrated by Coretta Scott King Award Honor-recipient Floyd Cooper and complete with an author's endnote, "I Have Heard of a Land" commemorates the strength of the African-American pioneers. It is a hymn to liberty and unity, an ode to a land where what can be dreamed can be accomplished.
