Viola Desmond Won't Be Budged!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Rudnicki. In 1946 Nova Scotia, Viola Desmond stood up to segregation by refusing to change seats in a movie theater. This inspiring story will remind readers of Rosa Parks's conviction. Both Rudnicki's brightly colored acrylics and Warner's oral-style narration ("They took Viola to jail. Can you believe it?") are a little overdone. An illuminating endnote on African Canadian history is appended.
