Editorial reviews

J. D. Streeter gives a lively performance in this journey to the Booker T. Washington National Monument in Hardy, Virginia, which is located on the tobacco plantation where its namesake was born into slavery in 1856. Travel journalist Patricia L. Lawrence visits a national park service ranger to learn more about Washington, who was one of America’s foremost African American educators. She captures live audio, and her inquisitive manner and calm voice allows the material to unfold organically, as if the listener was walking alongside on a park trail.
