Summary
A first-ever picture book biography of civil rights hero Myrlie Evers-Williams. Myrlie Evers-Williams' voice is gentle yet strong, soft yet powerful. It is a soaring song of hope. Myrlie's voice didn't start out that way. She was born into the segregated South and the beautiful brown color of her skin made her a target for hate. It meant she didn't have the same opportunities as white children, and that meant her dream of playing music onstage one day would be harder to achieve.
