Let Freedom Sing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609056841)

On benches just for 'colored, '

black folks obeyed the rules.

Rosa Parks at the front of the bus,

she let her light shine.

In the 1950's and 1960's, the struggle for civil rights forever changed the landscape of America. In her debut Blue Apple book, Vanessa Newton candid images illuminate anew the inequality that affected Americans, young and old.

With an introduction by Ruby Bridges and text to the tune of "This Little Light of Mine," Newton's rich, mixed-media illustrations create a vivid message of hope.
