¿Qué haces con una voz así? : la historia de la extraordinaria congresista Bárbara Jordan / escrito por Chris Barton ; ilustrado por Ekua Holmes ; traducción de Carmen Tafolla.
"Incluso cuando era una nįa que crec̕a en el quinto distrito de Houston, Barbara Jordan se destac̤ por su voz grande, audaz, retumbante, n̕tida, clara y segura. Barbara llev̤ su voz a lugares donde pocas mujeres afroamericanas hab̕an estado en la ďcada de 1960: primero la facultad de derecho, luego el senado del estado de Texas, luego el congreso de los Estados Unidos. A lo largo de su carrera, persever̤ a trav̌s de la adversidad para dar voz a los que no la tienen y para luchar por los derechos civiles, la igualdad y la justicia"-- Provided by publisher. "Even as a child growing up in the Fifth Ward of Houston, Barbara Jordan stood out for her big, bold, booming, crisp, clear, confident voice. Barbara took her voice to places few African American women had been in the 1960s: first law school, then the Texas state senate, then up to the United States congress. Throughout her career, she persevered through adversity to give voice to the voiceless and to fight for civil rights, equality, and justice"-- Provided by publisher.
