Marching For Freedom by Elizabeth Partridge

Good nonfiction shares many of the qualities of good fiction; the best writers pay as much attention to narrative, style, and characterization as to careful research of the facts. Design is another important feature of much nonfiction. Which literary elements are most notable in the works for this week?

Phillip Hoose, Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice

3. Claudette Colvin Live

It is one thing to read Phillip Hoose's biography, Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice (FSG). It is another to meet the woman herself. I have had the honor over the last nine months of watching Phil share the stage with unsung Civil Rights heroine, Claudette Colvin. In Claudette today you can see the 15-year-old girl that said "no" to Jim Crow by refusing to give up her bus seat on a Montgomery, AL bus 9 months before Rosa Parks.

We gathered all of the photos and audio recordings of their appearances and wove them together the best we could for a YouTube piece. I hope it captures the spark of this fine, fine woman whose story is finally told in full in Phil's stunning biography.
