Praise for She Persisted- Coretta Scott King-

"This book profiles the uplifting voice of an activist worth recognizing in her own right and Lyons manages to weave in a healthy amount of emotion into this account . . . A brief but effective account of not-often-taught figure that would nicely complement curriculum units on the Civil Rights Movement." --School Library Journal
