A Flea For Justice: Marian Wright Edelman Stands Up for Change
Valerie Bolling, illustrated by TeMika Grooms
This picture-book biography traces Marian Wright Edelman's response to injustice from childhood into her work for civil rights and children. As a child, Marian switches the signs on segregated water fountains that tell Black and white people where they may drink. She learns about Sojourner Truth and takes inspiration from her example. The book uses the image of a flea to describe Marian's determination to press for change even when doing so makes others uncomfortable.
