Dennis Brutus

Discovering History's Heroes

By: Craig Ellenport

Jeter Publishing presents a middle grade series that celebrates men and women who altered the course of history but may not be as well-known as their counterparts. In this biography, meet South African poet and human rights activist Dennis Brutus. Dennis Brutus was a poet and human rights activist whose works centered on his sufferings and those of his fellow blacks in South Africa. For fourteen years, Dennis taught English and Afrikaans in South Africa. As the white minority government increased restrictions on the black population, he became involved in a series of anti-apartheid related activities, including efforts to end discrimination in sports. The government subsequently banned him from teaching, writing, publishing, attending social or political meetings, and pursuing his studies. In 1963, his refusal to abide by the ban resulted in eighteen months of hard labor on Robben Island, alongside Nelson Mandela. Forbidden to write or publish after his release, Brutus left South Africa in 1966 for England and then the United States, and is now recognized as one of the prominent voices in the anti-apartheid movement.

Her parents enrolled her in a tennis academy and in 2009, Sloane turned professional. Ultimately, she won the junior French, Wimbledon, and US Open doubles titles in 2010. She represented the USA at the 2016 Rio Olympics and in 2017 she captured the championship trophy at the 2017 US Open. Who knows what new heights she’ll climb.

Kevin Durant

By: Real Sports Network

Learn about NBA superstar Kevin Durant in this book in a nonfiction series about your favorite athletes’ childhoods and what (or who) helped them become the stars they are today! He’s 6’ 9” with a wingspan of 7’ 5”, and everyone knows him as KD. He’s a two-time NBA champ, two-time Finals MVP, and four-time Scoring Champ. He’s Kevin Durant, and the NBA has never seen a player quite like him before. However, as impressive as the stats may be, what’s even more impressive is the journey that Kevin Durant took to come to the NBA. Born in a suburb of Washington, DC, Durant quickly discovered basketball as a way off of the dangerous streets and out of a life of laboring for little reward. But he also learned that if he wanted to make it as a professional, he would need to work—and work hard! Durant wasn’t afraid to do that and by high school he had become one of the best prospects in the thriving DC basketball scene. After a year of college, KD made the leap to the pros and he’s never looked back. Learn all about the childhood that put him on the path to success in this fascinating biography.
