Our bookclub discussed a historical fiction novel about Hattie McDaniel, the first African actress to receive an Oscar for a supporting role in a film (Gone With the Wind). ReShonda Tate, the author, researched Hattie McDaniel and used some creative liberties in creating a story about a pioneer, a fighter, and classy woman.
Book 1: The Queen of Sugar Hill by ReShonda Tate
Book 2: Hattie McDaniel Black Ambition, White Hollywood by Jill Watts


Thank you for your lists!
Hi Jackie! I pray you are doing well. You are sooooo welcome!
Do you know of a good book (preferably children’s) about the art work of Annie Lee?
Hi Jackie, I pray you are doing well. No I don’t. But her art work would definitely make a good children’s story!
Thanks, and for replying so fast!
You are sooooo welcome!!!!
