(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. In a moving if somewhat didactic story, Jolie doesn't think she needs Freedom School, but Annie, the young white teacher from up north, tells her about brave Harriet Tubman and about Benjamin Banneker, who shared Jolie's love of the stars. Glowing illustrations underscore the courage of the young people involved in the 1964 Mississippi Summer Project and those who dared house them. An author's note is included. Bib.
Reviewer: Deborah L. Thompson
