9780763638924Nobody Gonna Turn Me ‘Round is a strikingly illustrated, deftly written chronicle of several of the key players in the Civil Rights Movement. An excellent book to introduce students to the notion that it wasn’t only the Martin Luther Kings and Rosa Parks who made the movement, but many of the lesser-known but equally extraordinary people like Mose Right, Jo Ann Robinson, Diane Nash, and more.
