Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Robert Sengstacke Abbott: A Man, a Paper, and a Parade is the biography of Robert Abbott, who founded The Chicago Defender, one of the first influential newspapers for African Americans, in 1905. Through the medium of this publication, Robert Abbott was able to uplift and inspire generations of African Americans and to encourage them to fight for equality during a time when many were deprived of basic freedoms and were under the thumb of Jim Crow Laws.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Warrior Grandma: The Story of Patricia Locke by Littlebrave Beaston will be the latest title in the Change Maker series.

She embodied the qualities of a true Change Maker. Mazibuko, Luthando (illustratore).…
