The Blurb On The Back:
Civil Rights Stories
Racial Equality
Discover the powerful real-life stories of racial inequality from history and from around the world. The colour of your skin shouldn’t mean that you are treated badly and with prejudice. But discrimination by white people against Black, Asian and indigenous peoples, means that racism affects the happiness and safety of millions.
Civil rights are the rights that all people should have, no matter who they are or where they live. But not everyone enjoys equal rights. Civil Rights Stories shines a light on some of the people, movements and moments in the struggle for equality - a struggle that continues to this day.
