(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. After Sarah Roberts was removed from her classroom by a police officer, a little-known 1847 Supreme Court case set the tone for Boston to eventually become the first major American city to end segregation in schools. Watercolor and gouache paintings capture the historical era. The valuable book's extensive back matter includes "What Happened to Our Heroes?" and an author's note. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
