520 |a "From New York Times bestselling author Jemar Tisby, this picture book companion to his groundbreaking book The Spirit of Justice uses lyrical text and moving illustrations to take children on a journey through the history of the United States of America, highlighting the ways people have been fighting for justice from the very beginning. The fight for civil rights in America didn't begin in the 1960s-Black Americans have been working for justice, freedom, and equality since the first slave ships came to its shores. In I Am the Spirit of Justice, Jemar Tisby demonstrates that that arc of history bends toward justice. Here, the spirit of justice is personified as it moves through time, loving the oppressed and supporting the freedom fighters. The poetic text not only informs readers of the countless and often nameless people who have taken up the fight, it also inspires them to continue working for equality for all. With text cowritten by picture book author and poet Malcolm Newsome and art by illustrator and activist Nadia Fisher, I Am the Spirit of Justice is a great introduction to this history of civil rights for the youngest readers or an important addition to the libraries of anyone working for justice"--  |c Provided by publisher.
