Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Round || Read Aloud and Author Interview @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Friday, March 1, 2024 - If you are looking for an amazing book to highlight during Black History Month, this memoir novel in verse is the perfect choice. Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round by Kathlyn Kirkwood layers personal memories with historical facts, illustrations and primary documents to tell the story of how Martin Luther King Jr. Day became a national holiday. Short, emotional, thought-provoking, this is a MUST ADD for your classroom library and/or Civil Rights unit!
Book Blurb: Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ’Round is a deeply moving middle grade memoir about what it means to be an everyday activist and foot solider for racial justice, as Kathlyn recounts how, drawn to activism from childhood, she went from attending protests as a teenager to fighting for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday to become a national holiday as an adult. A blueprint for kids starting down their own paths to civic awareness, it shows life beyond protests and details the sustained time, passion, and energy it takes to turn an idea into a law. Deftly weaving together monumental historical events with a heartfelt coming-of-age story and in-depth information on law making, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ’Round is the perfect engaging example of how history can help inform the present.
