Literary Nonfiction. United States History. Education. With accompanying CD. Republic in story and song. With commentary, musical scores, ballad lyrics, and a CD, the book explores the lives of eight great Americans: Jefferson, Harriet Tubman, Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Thoreau, Ida B. Wells, and Eleanor Roosevelt. In the best arts-education tradition, the book dramatizes how each of these figures carried forward the values of the Declaration of Independence--and how their struggles for liberty and equality continue to impact our lives. The sewn paperback with gatefold flaps will hold up to music stands and classroom use.
