A review by rtwilliams16
Evicted! by Alice Faye Duncan

4.0

Alice Faye Duncan has written another excellent historical children's book. Duncan tells the story of unsung Black and white heroes in Fayette County, TN. She tells how Black residents fought for their voting rights after either losing their jobs or being evicted from their tenant farms. Introducing many relatively unknown figures, children, especially Black children should develop a sense of pride in how voting rights leaders help establish the right to vote for all in TN. The book is well researched and the reader will learn alot. Lastly the illustrations by Charly Parker are beautiful.

Thanks to Alice Faye Duncan for a free review copy in exchange for an honest review. This book will be released on January 11, 2022.
