Reviews
Discrimination. Genocide. Dignity. Humanity. These titles unite a diverse group of individuals unafraid to take a stand for equality, some with remarkable similarities in their struggles despite the differences in their journeys. . . .More than just life narratives, this series provides a reflection of history. Maps, schematics, historical sketches, and paintings convey their unique stories. With the exception of Tecumseh, for whom no photographic evidence exists, vintage and modern photographs combine with effective, concise writing that often addresses some heavy themes. . . .Great for middle grade collections and to prompt discourse while teaching civil rights units.-- School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
