520    "In 2013, the first all-African American team of climbers,
       sponsored by the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS),
       challenged themselves on North America's highest point, 
       the dangerous and forbidding Denali, in Alaska. Mills uses
       Expedition Denali and its team members' adventures as a 
       jumping-off point to explore how minority populations view
       their place in wild environments and to share the stories 
       of those who have already achieved significant 
       accomplishments in outdoor adventures--from Mathew Henson,
       a Black explorer who stood with Peary at the North Pole, 
       to Kai Lightner, a teenage sport climber currently winning
       national competitions. The goal of the expedition, and now
       the book, is to inspire minority communities to look 
       outdoors for experiences that will enrich their lives, and
       to encourage them toward greater environmental 
       stewardship."--Publisher's web site.
