Overview
The remarkable life of Myrlie Evers-Williams is honored and celebrated in this stunningly illustrated picture book biography of a civil rights hero--the very first of its kind.
Myrlie Evers-Williamsā voice is gentle yet strong, soft yet powerful. It is a soaring song of hope.
Myrlieās voice didnāt start out that way. She was born into the segregated South and the beautiful brown color of her skin made her a target for hate. It meant she didnāt have the same opportunities as white children, and that meant her dream of playing music onstage one day would be harder to achieve. But this didnāt stop Myrlie. As she grew, she marched for equal rights alongside her husband and activist, Medgar Evers. She fought against Jim Crow laws and for voting rights. She became the chair of the NAACP, and finally she realized her dream of performing at Carnegie Hall. After that, as a voice for hope and change, Myrlie spoke at President Obamaās second inauguration, inspiring a nation.
Nadia Salomonās lyrical text and London Laddās exquisite artwork honor and celebrate the legendary life of Myrlie Evers-Williams and share her message of hope with the world.
