Summary:
"Most people have heard about the historic school desegregation case Brown v. Board of Education. That Supreme Court case actually combined five cases challenging school segregation, and one of them began with a strike organized by 16-year-old Barbara Rose Johns. With key biographical information and related historical events, this Capstone Captivate book uncovers Johns's story and how the strike she led helped bring about the Supreme Court case"-- Provided by publisher.
