The expressive, sweeping color illustrations add the perfect touch to this simple yet inspirational

Yours for Justice, Ida B. Wells: The Daring Life of a Crusading Journalist is an illustrated biography for young readers who are just about ready to make the transition from chapter books to more involved fare. Yours for Justice, Ida B. Wells tells of a former slave from Mississippi who became a crusader for justice and the rule of law, who used her position as a journalist to speak out against wrongdoing. After one of her friends was cruelly lynched, she went on a personal crusade to help bring an end to lynching in America. Her noble ideals and tireless dedication would help sow the seeds for the future legacy of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 60s. The expressive, sweeping color illustrations add the perfect touch to this simple yet inspirational biography. Highly recommended, especially for children's library collections.
