Ashley Bryan: words to my life’s song
by Ashley Bryan
This autobiography of Ashley Bryan gives a vivid portrayal of an African American artist who lived through the depression, fought in the Segregated Army on the beaches of Normandy, and also struggled with discrimination and injustice as he fought to make it in the art world as an African American. Bryan tells his story through both text and pictures and the colors and words creatively tell a tale that is both relatable and motivational. Bryan is an example of an African American who did not give up in the face of the many injustices pushed upon him. His story is an encouragement to African American children but is a testimony to children of all ethnicities to press ahead for greatness even in the face of difficulty.
