Music Book

Excellent resource full of varied information on the civil rights movement, as well as anti-apartheid. This book is a perfect example of why I love to read both adult and adolescent non-fiction books dealing with the same topic. The adult books are so detailed, while the adolescent ones are more focused on the big picture. This book reinforced and united knowledge I already had, while introducing me to new areas I had yet to pursue, specifically the role music played in the movement. It also introduced me to facets of the movement of which I was previously unaware, such as the Highlander Center, giving me new topics to study. It also has a wealth of resources throughout which are listed in the back as well, giving me more reading material for my studies.
