The book focuses on a diverse set of images that include a depiction of former slaves whipping their erstwhile overseer distributed by an African American publisher, a census graph published in the New York Times, and a cutout of a child's hand sent by a southern mother to her husband at the front. Visions of Glory brings together twenty-two images and twenty-two brisk essays, each essay connecting an image to the events that unfolded during a particular year of the Civil War. GLORY encourages children around the world to feel that power and harness it. When we define our own standards of beauty, we take back that power. Beauty as an expression of who you are is power. It brings to life past, present, and future visions of black culture and showcases the power and beauty of recognizing and celebrating oneself. The glorious coffee-table book pays homage to the story of our royal past, celebrates the glory of the here and now, and even dares to forecast the future.
