New Review:The Black Family Who Built America: The McKissacks, Two Centuries of Daring Pioneers:Cheryl McKissack Daniel with Nick Chiles




5 out of 5 books

The Black Family Who Built America is an inspiring piece of history about the rise of McKissack & McKissack. McKissack & McKissack is the oldest minority and woman-owned professional design and construction company in the nation. Cheryl McKissack Daniel brings us the miraculous story of how her company was started and how it is thriving even today. She is the fifth generation of the McKissack family that runs this 200-year-old business.


 This book also gives readers the McKissack family history from slavery to the present and how the construction business was born. The McKissack family is responsible for many buildings on Fisk University campus as well churches, and other projects in New York. The Black Family Who Built America shows that the McKissack family should be included in the same breath as the Ford’s, Rockefeller’s, and others of being one of the pioneers that built America.
