Reading Level: 4-5
Interest Level: 4-6
Although the United States is often described as a land of opportunity and freedom, it is a fact that most people have had to fight for these rights. Furthermore, many of the fights that were started decades ago continue today, as rights have been given little by little. The disabled, LGBTQ+, and Native American communities are just a few of the groups still working to achieve rights equal to those most men have enjoyed throughout history. Through illuminating graphic organizers and engaging fact boxes, this series takes a look at important past and current civil rights struggles.
