Nobody Gonna Turn Me ‘Round!  Stories and Songs of the Civil Rights Movement

Illustrated by Shane W. Evans;
Candlewick Press, 2005.

“Rappaport draws on songs, poems, memories, letters, court testimony and first-person accounts to provide a moving portrayal of the experiences of African Americans.  The book introduces little-known as well as famous figures and incidents in a way that is fresh and informative.  A wonderful resource to enhance curriculum units on African-American history.”
School Library Journal

“The episodes are told with maximum drama, so they’ll involve kids who may sometimes find history dry and distant”
