My Opinion: This makes a great Father’s Day Gift for the history buff and any dad who loves learning about history. I found the letters to be interesting and intruding and wondered why it was so important to include a police report of Rosa Parks but I guess it is to show how unfairly African Americans were treated which I agree was wrong as the color of the skin does not matter the heart does. The historic Cartoon Cards I thought were different too as they showed the cartoonist's point of view and on the back side explained what it was referring to but very informative.
