The Teachers March! by Sandra Neil WallaceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Show up and show out", Reverend Reese preaches, and show up they do, when the teachers march! This would be great paired with Let the Children March, and a deep dive into Selma, the parallels between the time of segregation, the peaceful protests of that time and the peaceful protests of now and how the media skews them. This could also be tied to a discussion of voters rights, voting tests (could you tell me how many drops of water are in the Alabama River?), government, and the importance of not only voting, but voting in your own communities at the local level. As well as understanding the platforms and bias of local candidates that will directly effect community needs and services: like schools, public transportation, police presence (or lack of), fire department services, public libraries, park districts, and more!
