(STARRED REVIEW)
“Fascinating…a stirring treatment.” – Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)
An award-winning picture book biography of John Roy Lynch, a key Civil War Reconstruction figure and one of the country’s first African-American congressmen.
In this award-winning picture book biography, acclaimed author Chris Barton and illustrator Don Tate introduce readers to John Roy Lynch, a key figure in the Reconstruction Era and one of the first African-American congressmen.
John Roy Lynch spent most of his childhood as a slave in Mississippi, but all of that changed with the Emancipation Proclamation. Suddenly people like John Roy could have paying jobs and attend school. But while many people in the South were unhappy with the social change, John Roy thrived in the new era. He was appointed to serve as justice of the peace and was eventually elected into the United States Congress.
Includes a historical note, author’s and illustrator’s notes, an extensive timeline, a map, and resources for further reading.
