Description
It wasn't that long ago that black citizens had to move to the back of the bus. In this stirring collection, NPR tells stories large and small: of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and the March on Washington; of Pullman porters, an invaluable green book, and women who baked pies to support the Montgomery bus boycott. Personal recollections and historical accounts paint vivid pictures of individuals and events that transformed a nation.Tags

So yes, not technically a book, but I sure am glad SLPL's OverDrive has so many of these great compilations available. This could have been 5 times as long and it would barely scratch the surface.
