Description
Coloring History: Barbara Johns, Teenaged Civil Rights Activist is an illustrated historical biography introducing young readers to Barbara Rose Johns and the 1951 student-led strike at Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia. Organized and led by Johns at just sixteen years old, the protest challenged unequal school conditions and became a pivotal case in the legal path toward Brown v. Board of Education.
Designed for libraries, classrooms, and general collections, this hardcover edition presents historical context, narrative storytelling, and educational illustrations that center youth activism, civic courage, and the role of students in shaping American civil rights history.
This volume supports social studies and biography collections focused on African American history, the Civil Rights Movement, and student-led social change.
