<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An enthralling account of a young boy's struggle to help freedom triumph over fear in the 1940s American South. </b> <p/>It's 1947, and twelve-year-old Clyde Thomason is proud to have an older brother who guards the Freedom Train--a train that is traveling to all forty-eight states carrying the country's most important documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. <p/>Clyde hasn't told his parents he won't perform the Freedom Pledge because of stage fright, nor has he mentioned his confusing friendship with a boy of color. So when the townspeople threaten William's family, Clyde has a choice to make: Will he keep quiet, or stand up for real freedom? <p/>Ideal for classrooms, <i>Freedom Train </i>contains historical photos of the Freedom Train and its guards, as well as an author's note that provides additional information about the history of the Freedom Train.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Evelyn Coleman</b>'s books include <i>To Be a Drum</i>, <i>White Socks Only</i>, <i>The Riches of Oseola McCarty</i>, a Smithsonian Notable Book and a Carter G.
