No More!: Stories and Songs of Slave Resistance
Celebrating the deep strength and resilience of African American slaves  over centuries of miserable oppression, Doreen Rappaport gathers stories, songs,  and poetry in this stunning compilation. The quest for freedom and dignity drove  many slaves to push themselves beyond what most humans could bear: enduring  brutal beatings, watching their families be torn apart, experiencing humiliation  at the hands of their white masters. But through it all, women, men, and  children resisted in whatever ways they could. In riveting first-person  narrative, Rappaport tells the stories of these courageous souls, from Olaudah  Equiano's survival through the Middle Passage to Harriet Tubman's Underground  Railroad. Traditional songs are interspersed throughout, including "Gospel  Train" and "Go Down, Moses," and artist Shane W. Evans (Osceola: Memories of a Sharecropper's  Daughter) captures the hope and despair of his subjects in rich,  evocative oil paintings. Doreen Rappaport is the acclaimed author of many  children's books, includingMartin's Big Words: The Life of Dr.  Martin Luther King, Jr..
