The rich resource includes expected figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Jefferson, to unexpected heroes such as Yo-Yo Ma and Martha Graham. A "Hero Hunt" follows the profiles, encouraging readers to seek out information on other fascinating American heroes using authoritative websites, encyclopedias, and other reference sources.
