From the Editor - February 2021

Welcome to Black History Month 2021! As several of the books reviewed here remind us, you can’t have American history without it. Please go see all of our BHM coverage on the website, where the indefatigable Cindy and Elissa are posting related reviews, interviews, articles, and essays every day throughout the month. It is times like these when I really miss my office, with its run of Horn Book Magazines from 1924 to the present, because there is so much more material pertinent to the history of African American literature in this country still waiting for renewed life in our electronic home. Let’s hope we get back there soon!

From the February 2021 issue of Notes from the Horn Book.
