Description

Ann Bausum returns to the subject of Civil Rights with more exhaustive research, more compelling narrative, and more new and fascinating analysis than any other non-fiction author for children today. This new angle on the historically significant and fascinating life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr. sheds light on the issues of race, labour, civil rights, and poetry in the USA, from the turbulent period of the 1950s and 60s down the decades to today.
