Illustrated by
Bill Farnsworth.
Thirteen one-page vignettes introduce readers to select civil rights leaders, including both familiar figures (Ralph Abernathy, Rosa Parks) and those less well known (Andrew Goodman, James Earl Chaney). An appended chronology of events between 1953 and 1968 extends the brief sketches. Each profile is accompanied by a formal-looking portrait with embedded related scenes. Bib.
