Freedom Walkers by Russell Freedman


We had an all school read this morning, and I forgot my book at home ... so I decided to give this book a try. I am glad I did! Russell Freedman is a great non-fiction author and I thoroughly enjoyed his book about the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

From Amazon:
As Freedman points out, the Montgomery Bus Boycott was a triumphant historical event, and there are numerous memoirs, articles, and scholarly works, for adults and for young readers, about the leaders and the ordinary heroes. In his signature clear prose, Freedman draws on the best of those personal stories and historical accounts to provide a dramatic overview of how the 381-day resistance to segregated buses spearheaded the civil rights movement.

Happy reading! If you read Freedom Walkers, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
