Nine black teenagers in Little Rock, Arkansas, headed out to a formerly white high school, despite warnings that \"blood will run in the streets.\" James Lawson trained activists not to fight back with fists or words, no matter how many billy clubs rained down on them. Through ten turbulent years, black southerners filled jails and public places with the songs and strength passed down from their ancestors. This final book in a trilogy about the African-American experience is a tribute to the crusaders for equality and peace in America, a crusade that continues to this day. Back matter includes important dates, an artist's note, source notes, a bibliography, sources for further information, and an index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doreen Rappaport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0763638927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763638924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.36h x 9.56w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e111071 \/ Nobody Gonna Turn Me 'Round: Stories and Songs of the Civil Rights Movement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2009 - Recommended - Better Than Most","brand":"Doreen Rappaport","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045030719743,"sku":"9780763638924","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8078f0d-0058-4ced-a09d-75a29073df1c.jpg?v=1684976322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nobody-gonna-turn-me-round-doreen-rappaport-9780763638924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
