A Ride to Remember
Author: Sharon Langley
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1683356233
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
The true story of how a 1963 ride on a carousel in Maryland made a powerful Civil Rights statement. A Ride to Remember tells how a community came together—both black and white—to make a change. When Sharon Langley was born in the early 1960s, many amusement parks were segregated, and African-American families were not allowed entry. This book reveals how in the summer of 1963, due to demonstrations and public protests, the Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in Maryland became desegregated and opened to all for the first time. Co-author Sharon Langley was the first African-American child to ride the carousel. This was on the same day of Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Langley’s ride to remember demonstrated the possibilities of King’s dream. This book includes photos of Sharon on the carousel, authors’ notes, a timeline, and a bibliography. “Delivers a beautiful and tender message about equality from the very first page.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review “Cooper’s richly textured illustrations evoke sepia photographs’ dreamlike combination of distance and immediacy, complementing the aura of reminiscence that permeates Langley and Nathan’s narrative.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “A solid addition to U.S. history collections for its subject matter and its first-person historical narrative.” —School Library Journal

Remembering Baltimore
Author:
Publisher: Turner
ISBN: 9781683368090
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Like the tides of the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore's fortunes have ebbed and flowed through the years, from its bustling beginnings as a colonial port town, to its phenomenal growth in the nineteenth century and its rise to a position of prominence in the commerce of the nation, through the demise of the industrial age and the effects of the suburban flight of the twentieth century. Yet through all the ups and downs, the good times and bad, the city has maintained its unique identity--and has left a vibrant legacy of cultural and technological achievement, captured for posterity through the camera lens. With a selection of fine historic images from his best-selling book Historic Photos of Baltimore, Mark Walston provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of this great American city. Remembering Baltimore introduces viewers to the people, places, and events that helped define the town President John Quincy Adams dubbed the "Monumental City." Filled with more than a century of richly detailed images, Remembering Baltimore offers a revealing journey through time that will appeal to anyone with an interest in how the city contributed to America's rise to greatness.
