Nevertheless, We Persisted: 48 Voices of Defiance, Strength, and Courage by

As is always the case with collections, I enjoyed some of the essays much more than others, but I really appreciated the variety of perspectives. I'm glad this is part of my classroom library, as it demonstrates a great diversity of experiences and I have found that some students respond better to short stories or essays - they allow the students to feel successful at reading a piece start to finish.
