Kelsey Ford: Celebrate Short Story Month: 7 Recommendations Based on 7 Collections We Love (0 comment)
I love short story collections because of how much they manage to do with so little. They can dilate, expand, shatter, constellate. Within any given collection, you can move from the moon to a diner after midnight to that liminal minute right when you wake up but are still knee-deep in a dream..

Synopsis

How will you stand against something you know is wrong? One way is to follow the lessons of bravery taught by civil rights pioneers like Clara Luper.

Hidden Heroines: Someday Is Now tells the inspirational story of the celebrated Civil Rights leader, who led one of the first lunch-counter sit-ins in America. As a child, Clara saw how segregation affected her life, and her journey famously led her to Oklahoma where she and her students desegregated stores and restaurants that were closed to African-Americans. With courage and conviction, Clara Luper led young people to "do what had to be done."

This moving title includes stories and accomplishments of the "sit-inners," that first group of children inspired by Clara Luper, as well as resources like the Principles of Nonviolence used in the Civil Rights movement and suggested activities for young readers, including arts and organizing projects to inspire young people to tear down the invisible walls that continue to divide us.
