A girl defies the law by secretly learning to read and write. A future abolitionist regains his will to live by fighting off his captor with his bare hands: \"I will not let you use me like a brute any longer,\" Frederick Douglass vows. Drawing from authentic accounts, here is a chronology of resistance in all its forms: comical trickster tales about outwitting \"Old Marsa\"; secret \"hush harbors\" where Africans instill Christian worship with their own rituals; and spirituals such as \"Go Down Moses,\" whose coded lyrics signal not just hope for deliverance, but an active call to escape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoldly illustrated with extraordinary oil paintings by award-winning artist Shane W. Evans, and meticulously researched by Doreen Rappaport, this stunning collection — spanning the period from the early days of slavery to the Emancipation Proclamation — is an invaluable resource for teachers, parents, libraries, students, and people everywhere who care about what it means to be free, what it is to be human. Back matter includes important dates, a bibliography, resources for further information, and an index.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303506137317,"sku":"NP9780763628765","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780763628765.jpg?v=1767733809","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/no-more-stories-and-songs-of-slave-resistance-isbn-9780763628765","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
