"These fascinating stories are all presented in such an easily accessible and engaging way that I sat down to read one and finished the whole book. I can't imagine what sort of impact having learned these stories growing up would have had on me, but I believe I would have had more faith in myself, what I was capable of, and of my resiliency had I knows of these remarkable individuals." --Karyn Parsons, actress, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

"With Strange Fruit, Volume II, Gill continues to skillfully and thoughtfully tell the stories of the forgotten visionaries, revolutionaries, and everyday folks of black history. This book is a shining example of the need to share the lesser-known narratives that add to the richness and complexity of the black experience." --Whitney Taylor, author and illustrator, Wallpaper and Ghost Stories
