A new book designed for upper elementary students shares the stories of ordinary men and women in St. Louis who fought for equal rights.
Amanda Doyle and Melanie Adams are the authors of “Standing Up for Civil Rights in St. Louis,” a publication of the Missouri History Museum Press.
“I really look at this book as our opportunity to educate the next generation on civil rights history,” Adams said.
Adams previously worked at the Missouri History Museum though now works for the Minnesota Historical Society.
