No More! Stories and Songs of Slave Resistance

$17.99

By Doreen Rappaport. Illustrated by Shane W. Evans

Ever since the first boatload of human cargo sailed to the New World, people of African descent have waged a courageous struggle for dignity and freedom from slavery. Using true accounts, author Doreen Rappaport puts readers in the shoes of eleven extraordinary individuals, and documents many forms of slave resistance: subversion, uprisings, escape, poetry, religion and song

Using poems, songs, narrative and illustration, No More! tells the stories of individuals, from Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and Nat Turner to lesser known resisters, Peppel, and Suzy King Taylor, a child who learned to read.
