La congresista Bárbara Jordan tenía una voz grande, potente, y segura – ¡y sabía como usarlo! Aprenda sobre su carrera asombrosa en este libro de cuentos ilustrado que inspira con la biografía de la abogada, profesora, legisladora, y líder de derechos civiles. Aún como niña criándose en el Quinto Distrito de Houston en Texas, Bárbara Jordan se destacó por su voz potente, valiente, radiante, clara, fresca, y segura. Era una voz que causaba que la gente se sentara atenta, se enderezara y tomara nota. ¿Qué haces con una voz así? Bárbara llevó su voz a lugares donde pocas mujeres afroamericanas habían llegado en los 1960s: primero, a la facultad de derecho; luego, al senado estatal de Texas; después al congreso de los Estados Unidos. A lo largo de toda su vida, ella perseveró a través de la adversidad para dar voz a los sin voz y para luchar por derechos civiles, igualdad, y justicia.
