Signed by both authors on the title page. William Casey King ("Casey King") is an award-winning author, filmmaker and historian of ideas who currently serves as Director of Capstone Programs at Yale's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs. King served as the Executive Director of the Yale Center for Analytical Sciences and was formerly the Executive Director of the W.E.B. DuBois Institute at Harvard University. King co-authored Oh, Freedom! Kids Talk About the Civil Rights Movement with the People who Made it Happen which was the recipient the Flora Steiglitz Strauss Award in 1997. The book was the result of an oral history project that King conducted while a school teacher in Washington, D.C. Linda Osborne is an award-winning short story writer, and a book reviewer for both The Washington Post. A personal look at the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s told through dozens of interviews conducted by Washington, D.C., fourth graders with their parents, grandparents, neighbors, and others who helped fight the battle against segregation and changed the course of history. With a foreword by Rosa Parks, three introductory essays, and over 40 archival photographs, this thoughtful, compelling, and educational book pays tribute to the many ordinary people who dedicated themselves to the cause of freedom and the fight for equality.
