"Freedom School, Yes!" by Amy Littlesugar tells the inspiring story of a young girl named Lillian, who participates in a summer program aimed at teaching Black history and civil rights. Set in the context of the Civil Rights Movement, Lillian and her friends engage in lively discussions, art projects, and lessons about courage and activism. Through their experiences at the Freedom School, they gain confidence, learn to speak out against injustice, and discover the power of community. The story highlights the importance of education, self-expression, and empowerment, showing how even the youngest voices can contribute to a brighter future.
