Let the Children March • Frank Morrison, illustrator • (American, b. 1971) • Author, Monica Clark-Robinson • Clarion Books, publisher • 2018

In 1963 Birmingham, Alabama, thousands of African American children volunteered to march for their rights after hearing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speak. They protested the laws that kept black people separate from white people. Facing fear, hate, and danger, these children used their voices to change the world.

I hadn’t come across the work of Renee Stout before a visit to the Washington Museum Of Art at the weekend. This is ‘Burn for Love’, 2000, and I like it.
