"Imagine you had to walk 600 miles to get fair treatment at school!" Twelveyearold Joyce Clemons introduces a fictional memory book documenting the littleknown true story of nineteen Black mothers, thirtyseven children, and their twoyear march to integrate an Ohio elementary school.Following the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, Black mothers in Hillsboro, OH, attempted to enroll their children at the allwhite Webster School. However, the local school board refused the call for integration. Demanding equal education, a group of Black mothers and children marched to and from Webster dailyuntil Black students were admitted. In Step by Step!, New York Times bestselling author Debbie Rigaud and coauthor Carlotta Penn thoughtfully capture the voice of a young activist and emphasize the power of Black mothers leadership. Nysha Lillys expressive illustrations, with historical primary sources interspersed throughout, immerse readers in the Lincoln School Marchers fight. Rigaud and Penn simultaneously convey the challenges the marchers faced with the uplifting joy of a united community, encouraging readers to "keep on marching" for justice.Step by Step! is a collaboration between Ohio nonprofit organization Ohio Humanities, Daydreamers Press, and a small group of Lincoln School alumni who resolved to share their story with the world.
