Acclaimed artist Tom Feelings captures the vibrant, soulful spirit of the Black experience through powerful poems and striking illustrations. From the pain of slavery to the triumphs of civil rights, these evocative works honor the creativity, strength, and beauty that have long defined the African American community. Feelings weaves a tapestry of voices, including Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Askia Toure, that celebrate the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. "Soul Looks Back in Wonder" is a stirring testament to the enduring legacy of African American heritage.
