Joan Trumpauer Mulholland was taught that “all men are created equal,” yet as a young white girl, she witnessed segregation and racism daily. She joined her first demonstration in 1959 and her activism continued as she participated and led sit-ins at segregated lunch counters and later joined with the Freedom Riders. Her story highlights the role that ordinary people played in the civil rights movement. Timeline. (I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.) I've been reading a ton of civil rights biographies written for kids lately (picture book through YA) and so if I say this is a perfectly serviceable civil rights biography written for kids, it's no slight on the book. It's solid. One thing I particularly noticed is its great use of primary source documents. Really punch you in the gut, they do, and make the story much more lively. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
