But with a strong support system and fiery self-discipline, Elijah utilized the momentum of the civil rights movement to overcome the obstacles of poverty and racism to effect change at a time when our country so badly needed it. In We're Better Than This, young readers will learn not only that we must be and do better than our oppressors but that it is our shared responsibility as a nation to keep our democracy intact because it is the only way to pursue freedom, justice, and equality for all. 521 1 $a Ages 8-12 $b Harper. 600 10 $a Cummings, Elijah $v Juvenile literature. 610 10 $a United States. $b House $b House $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American legislators $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Legislators $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Baltimore (Md.) $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Beard, Hilary, $e author. 941 $a 3 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611015550.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20220201015038.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211029010049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7BC0A37C387D11EC850BB56740ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
