I have heard of a land Where the imagination has no fencesWhere what is dreamed one nightIs accomplished the next dayIn the Late 1800s in the Oklahoma Territory, all one needed to stake a claim was hope and courage–and the strength and determination to journey west. The Oklahoma land runs were open to everyone: Blacks and Whites, men and women alike. Thousands of american pioneers came–including many African-Americans newly freed from slavery. “I Have Heard of a Land” is a lyrical, moving portrait of a few of themen and women who journeyed to Oklahoma in the quest for a new life.National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Thomas draws on her own family history to bring to lifes fascinating piece of America’s little known and unexplored past. With rich detailed illustrations by Coretta Scott King Award honor recient Floyd Cooper, “I Have Heardof a Land” is a glorious tribute to the courage of those early Americans who dared toact on their dreams.
