Wish I had books like this when I was at school!
I love finding gems like this on iTunes!!! I am always trying to find educational materials online to help build on what my son is studying in school. I think this really brought the stories of the civil and human rights to life for him.
I love it.

Love it
I love reading books like this because I get to learn more about my skin color and what it was like back then and what happen and what was going on so I thank Martin Luther king for this even though he got shot in the back of his head but at least we can try to make things even better then back then.
