Frustrated by the laws that kept African-Americans separate but very much unequal to whites, she had questions. Why couldn’t she drink from a \"whites only\" fountain? Why couldn’t she feel safe beyond home—or even within the walls of church?  Adults all told her: Hold your tongue. Be patient. Know your place. But Beals had the heart of a fighter—and the knowledge that her true place was a free one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Combined with emotive drawings and photos, this memoir paints a vivid picture of Beals’ powerful early journey on the road to becoming a champion for equal rights, an acclaimed journalist, a best-selling author, and the recipient of this country’s highest recognition, the Congressional Gold Medal.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147012489456,"sku":"9781328919151","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781328919151_p0.jpg?v=1765233163","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781328919151","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
