Richard Panchyk traces this largely untaught history through vivid examples and accessible language, making the complex world of torts understandable for middle-grade readers. This is an important choice for students because it teaches civic empowerment and critical thinking about corporate power, showing that the safety protections we take for granted were won through generations of determined public advocacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books del Sur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43843937009782,"sku":"9781644210888","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1752\/6773\/files\/power-to-the-people-9781644210888.png?v=1786466083"},{"product_id":"lifting-as-we-climb","title":"Lifting as We Climb","description":"\u003cp\u003eLifting as We Climb tells the overlooked history of Black women in the American suffrage movement — from abolitionist Maria Stewart and antislavery orator Sojourner Truth to Ida B. Wells and Mary Church Terrell — making clear that the fight for women's right to vote was never just a white women's story, and that Black suffragists had to wage their battle on two fronts: against racial prejudice from within the suffrage movement itself, and against the broader injustice of American society. Evette Dionne's meticulous research and powerful writing makes this Coretta Scott King Author Honor Book an essential choice for students because it fills a significant gap in how the suffrage movement is typically taught, honoring the courage of women who refused to be left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books del Sur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43843937402998,"sku":"9780451481559","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1752\/6773\/files\/lifting-as-we-climb-9780451481559.png?v=1786466083"},{"product_id":"flesh-and-blood-so-cheap-the-triangle-fire-and-its-legacy","title":"Flesh And Blood So Cheap. The Triangle Fire And Its Legacy","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlesh and Blood So Cheap tells the story of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire — in which 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women, died because the doors were locked and there was no fire escape — but sets that disaster within the larger history of immigration, labor exploitation, and the long fight for worker safety that surrounded it. Albert Marrin traces the waves of Italian and Jewish immigrants who filled the factories of the Lower East Side, the heroic Uprising of the 20,000 that preceded the fire, and the landmark labor reforms that came after. This National Book Award Finalist is an excellent choice for students because it teaches labor history, immigrant history, and civic action together, showing how tragedy can become the catalyst for lasting change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books del Sur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43843937665142,"sku":"9780553499353","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1752\/6773\/files\/flesh-and-blood-so-cheap-the-triangle-fire-and-its-legacy-9780553499353.png?v=1786466083"},{"product_id":"the-faith-of-elijah-cummings","title":"The Faith of Elijah Cummings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Faith of Elijah Cummings traces the life of the beloved Baltimore congressman and civil rights advocate — from a boy told he would never read or write well, to a Howard University law graduate, Maryland state legislator, and powerful voice in Congress who fought tirelessly for his constituents, the children of his district, and the principles of justice and equality until his death in 2019. Carole Boston Weatherford's lyrical text is paired with Laura Freeman's expressive, luminous illustrations and direct quotes from Cummings himself, bringing his warmth and conviction to life on every page.
