With simple, elegant art, <i>Someday Is Now </i>tells the inspirational story of this unsung hero of the Civil Rights Movement.</b> <p/> As a child, Clara Luper saw how segregation affected her life. When she grew up, Clara <b>led the movement </b>to desegregate Oklahoma stores and restaurants that were closed to African Americans. With <b>courage and conviction, </b> she led young people to "do what had to be done." Perfect for early elementary age kids in encouraging them to do what is right and <b>stand up for what is right</b>, even at great cost, this is a powerful story about the power of nonviolent activism. <p/><i>Someday Is Now<b></b></i><b>challenges young people</b> to ask how they will stand up against something they know is wrong. Kids are inspired to follow the lessons of bravery taught by <b>civil rights pioneers</b> like Clara Luper. <p/> This moving title includes additional information on Clara Luper's extraordinary life, her lessons of <b>nonviolent resistance, </b>and a <b>glossary of key civil rights people and terms</b>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An authentic tribute to a brave and compassionate activist."--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><br>"Introduce students to the activism of Clara Luper, an African American high school teacher who organized lunch counter sit-ins for her students to protest segregation in 1958. The narrative functions as a history lesson and as a guide for when and how to challenge injustice (now and with nonviolent direct action). The author does not shy away from describing the humiliating abuse the children suffered during the sit-in. The artist shows images of Black children covered in food while white patrons yell, throw, and shake their fists. The art is simple but stunning."--<i><b>Social Justice Books</b></i><br><br>"Not only does this book highlight an important civil rights activist, it can serve as an introduction to child activism as well as the movement itself.
