It wasn't always easy. From an early age, she stood strong against white violence toward her family in the South, and against discrimination as a music student in the North. Coretta found her voice as a classical singer, but she struggled mightily to speak out as an activist in the face of men who thought she should be seen and not heard. But she never wavered. When Martin died, it was Coretta who carried on the struggle, and preserved his legacy so that his voice would be heard by future generations. This important story, told in poetry and prose, is a riveting introduction to an important and instrumental figure in the history of activism and civil rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAwards for \u003ci\u003eMemphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop...\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book - School Library Journal Best Book of the Year - Booklist Editors' Choice - Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book - Booklist Top 10 Diverse Books for Middle Grade or Older Readers - Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Faye Duncan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 166268004X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662680045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calkins Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 10.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023 pg. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/06\/2023 pg. 1","brand":"Alice Faye Duncan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132846272767,"sku":"9781662680045","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93dccdbf-9acb-4e1d-b296-306201b1b561.jpg?v=1687482659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/corettas-journey-alice-faye-duncan-9781662680045","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
