Volume 3 in the acclaimed Fighting for Justice Series for young readers: the story of a Native teenager's history-making fight for equal education.
Alice Piper Speaks Up is a necessary, accessible, and fascinating book that shines bright light on a history and a people that all who call California--and America!--home should know. --Kate Schatz, New York Times-bestselling author of Rad American Women A-Z
Alice Piper just wanted to go to public school. The year was 1923, and Alice, a Native Nuwuvi (Paiute) teenager in California, dreamed about learning from teachers, making new friends, and being respected for who she was. So when the school board refused to let her and six other Native students attend, she decided to speak up, and she sued for her right to an equal education. Alice Piper Speaks Up, the first book dedicated to this major champion of civil rights, features new research into Alice's life and court case. Each chapter begins with lyrical verse and full-color illustrations that invite readers into Alice's story. Paired with the poems are visually engaging sections filled with keyword definitions, historical context, timelines, primary sources, and questions that help readers relate Alice's experience to their own lives. The text connects Alice's case to larger themes about education, Native rights, and movements for school desegregation across the United States. The third book in Heyday's widely acclaimed Fighting for Justice series, Alice Piper Speaks Up shows how one teen's action resonates throughout America's history, even now.
