Harry and Eliza Briggs - Civil Rights Pioneers
Often the ordinary citizen can feel that there's little he or she can do to change long established practices or right entrenched wrongs. But one or two people can make a difference. So it was in the 1940s Harry and Elize Briggs merely wanted a school bus to take their kids to school. This was only the beginning of their struggle which went on for years, resulting in ground-breaking decisions that advanced the progress of civil rights in the U.S.

Flashbacks Volume One
  A Cartoon of the District of Columbia Flashbacks Volume One Patrick M. Reynolds brings history to life with a sense of humor.

This book covers the early history of DC from 1776 to 1863. You'll be surprised at how many cities served as the U.S. capital; you'll be amazed that the city was built--despite all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
