Rediscovering Unsung Hero: Elizabeth Jennings' Fight for Equality

Rosa Parks? Check. But Elizabeth Jennings? Never heard of her. Until this book. . . Pre-Civil War she refused to get off a segregated street car and was kicked off which led to a court investigation and rules being changed. One hundred years before Rosa Parks. . . The kids didn’t know why I hadn’t heard of her. Redeeming my education one picture book at a time. . . Don’t let Black History month end in two days. Make it all year long! There are way too many good books and people to learn about for me to only have 28 days to cram my library cart ;)
