Lesley University The Evelyn M Finnegan Childrens Literature Collection Lecture Series

Description

E.B. Lewis describes himself as an "artistrator" who tells stories through his fine art as well as his illustrations for children’s literature. Mr. Lewis has recently collaborated with children’s book author, Susan Goodman, to publish The First Step, How One Girl Put Segregation On Trial. This newly-released book tells the story of the first case that challenged our courts to outlaw segregated schools, based in 1847 Boston prior to the Civil War.
