Let It Shine: Stories of Black Women Freedom Fighters

by Andrea Davis Pinkney
 
Book Description

Ten freedom fighters let their lights shine on the darkness of discrimination.

The lives these women led are part of an incredible story about courage in the face of oppression; about the challenges and triumphs of the battle for civil rights; and about speaking out for what you believe in--even when it feels like no one is listening. Andrea Davis Pinkney's moving text and Stephen Alcorn's glorious portraits celebrate the lives of ten bold women who lit the path to freedom for generations.
