{"product_id":"9781561453955","title":"Sweet Land of Liberty","description":"This inspiring story of little-known civil rights champion Oscar Chapman reminds readers that one person can truly make a difference.\u003cbr\u003eOn Easter Sunday 1939, Marian Anderson performed at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial for a crowd of over 75,000 people. The person largely responsible for putting her there was a white man, Oscar Chapman. When Chapman learned that Marian Anderson was not allowed to sing at Constitution Hall because of the color of her skin, Chapman helped produce a landmark concert that—for at least one evening—bridged the color divide to bring a city and much of the nation together.\u003cbr\u003eAward-winning author Deborah Hopkinson tells the inspirational story of Oscar Chapman’s lifelong commitment to ending bigotry. Illustrator Leonard Jenkins’s remarkable illustrations recreate a bygone era and pay tribute to remarkable real-life people and a magical moment in modern history. An author’s note provides additional historical context.","brand":"Peachtree Publishers, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057047486704,"sku":"9781561453955","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781561453955_p0.jpg?v=1763758483","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781561453955","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
