"I used this book and read it from cover to cover with the children. I asked the principal to purchase a class set."
My World Literature Course
When I returned from ASALH, I immediately returned to the study and teaching of Ancient Kemet Civilization, using your book to supplement what I had already taught (the textbook had nothing on the contributions of Ancient Kemet to world civilization, so I turned to my own personal library and to your great resource). It was great meeting you.
