Nelson Mandela used his voice to bring down Apartheid. Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birutè Galdikas gave a voice to the primates who couldn't speak for themselves. The Women of Greenham Common used their collective voice to fight against preparations for nuclear war. And today's youth--like Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, the students of Stoneman Douglas High School, and Greta Thunberg--unite their voices to stop gun violence, save the planet, and so much more. <p/>Through enlightening poems by award-winning poet and author George Ella Lyon and stunning portraits by artist Jennifer M. Potter, <i>Voices of Justice</i> introduces young readers to the groundbreaking work of people who fought--and continue to fight--to make the world a better place. <p/>Featuring those mentioned above along with Virginia Woolf, Dolores Huerta, Shirley Chisholm, Jasilyn Charger, Jeannette Rankin, and more, each portrait offers a vision of action and love that gets up and does something, no matter the forces ranged against it, no matter the odds.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>A 2021 Notable Social Studies Trade Books Selection<br></b><br>A lyrical, inspiring call to action. --<i>Booklist <p/></i>A motivating collection that celebrates past and present advocates. --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>George Ella Lyon</b> is an award-winning poet and author.
