  • School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2021 April

    Gr 3–7—The six attractive books in this series take on distinct perspectives in the fight for Black rights. Each book provides a bit of history on its topic then addresses current events and movements. Focused less on statistics, stories that include dates and people are used to bring these books to life. Readers will be excited to read about people they are familiar with and intrigued to research historical figures who are unfamiliar. Personal questions interspersed throughout ask readers to identify what they would do in similar situations. These short books are easy to read and a plethora of colorful photos help readers connect with the text. VERDICT A well-written and beautiful series that brings life to the fight for Black rights.
