(4) 4-6 Creative Minds Biography series. Illustrated by Ellen Beier. This is a smoothly written, if not especially riveting, biography. Born during the Civil War to former slaves, Mary Church broke barriers by going to college, traveling widely, and focusing on a career in teaching. She married Robert Terrell, the first African American to be appointed a federal judge, and devoted her later life to fighting for civil rights and against Jim Crow laws. Black-and-white drawings accompany her story. Bib., ind.
