Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., civil rights leader. Fannie Lou Hamer, founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. The Little Rock Nine, pioneers in social integration. Whether marching, speaking, or simply going to school, these brave men and women fought to advance social justice. David A. Adler's moving biographies and Bill Farnsworth's evocative paintings honor these Americans who risked their own lives so that others could enjoy their rights.

Heroes for Civil Rights tells the stories of twenty-six men and women who, risking reprisals even death, dared to take action against the unjust laws the governed much of the American South. Many of these people are now well-known heroes, including Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Ralph Abernathy, and Medgar Evers, but author David A. Adler also includes some less well-known people, too.
Wonderful stories of strength and courage and daring.
