Wrote a biography for young readers about Alexandria VA civil rights lawyer Samuel W. Tucker who organized a sit-in at the Alexandria Library in 1939 to protest its whites-only policy. This sit-in predates the sit-ins of the 1960s by two decades.The book is a great conversation starter for adults to share their stories with the young people in their families. It also can be used in schools to teach the research skills of note taking, reading for information, and how text features focus a reader's attention on important information.
