Zero means no wrong answers called out in class, no secrets accidentally spilled, and no conversations to agonize over at night when sleep is far away. But now months have passed, and Elise isn't sure she could speak even if she wanted to

Long before she was one of the Little Rock Nine, Melba Pattillo Beals was a warrior. Frustrated by the laws that kept African Americans separate but very much unequal to whites, she had questions: Why couldn't she drink from a whites-only fountain? Why couldn't she feel safe beyond home - or even within the walls of church? Adults all told her: Hold your tongue. Be patient. Know your place. But Beals had the heart of a fighter - and the knowledge that her true place was a free one.

Dovey Johnson Roundtree was most famous for her successful defense of an indigent Black man accused of the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer, a prominent White Washington, DC, socialite, in 1965. Despite her triumph in this high-profile case, Roundtree continued to represent the poor and the underserved. She was the first lawyer to bring a bus-desegregation case before the Interstate Commerce Commission, clinching the ruling that enabled Robert F. Kennedy to enforce bus integration. She was also among the first Black women to enter the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.

C'è chi accusa i giornali e i mass media di essere "finti" (Trump e dintorni), e c'è chi pensa che solo loro possano salvarci dalle bufale. La verità è che le bufale (o, meglio, la "cattiva informazione") rischiano di annidarsi un po' ovunque. Le bufale esistono da sempre: dalla Donazione di Costantino (con la smentita di Lorenzo Valla, il primo degli "hoaxbusters") alla "Guerra dei Mondi" di Orson Welles.

Kid Presidents tells all of their stories and more in these hilarious biographies. History has never been this much fun!

Every activist started out as a kid‚ and in some cases, they were kids when their activism began! But even the world's greatest champions of civil liberties had relatable interests and problems‚ often in the middle of extraordinary circumstances.

Dolores Huerta was once wrongly accused of plagiarizing in school.
