Description

“A fascinating read.” —Kirkus Reviews 
 
They threw rocks on the school windows. Villagers refused to sell Miss Crandall groceries or let her students attend Town church. Her schoolhouse used to be mysteriously set on fire. Town authorities dragged her to jail and put her on trial for breaking the law. 
 
Her crime? Looking to teach African American girls geography, history, reading, philosophy, and chemistry. 
 
Exciting and eye-opening, this account of the heroine of Canterbury, Connecticut, and her elegant white schoolhouse on the center of the town will give readers a glimpse of what it’s like to check out to modify the world when few believe you.
