Doreen Rappaport had a life changing experience in 1965, when she taught at a freedom school in McComb, Mississippi. There she met “extraordinary ordinary” people, many of whom were deprived of their civil rights. Inspired by their courage, she set out to write about many American heroes, including children, in her historical biography books. The School Is Not White! A True Story of the Civil Rights Movement and Freedom Ship will be featured.
