About this listen

Perfect for ages 7-10.

"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them." —Frederick Douglass

"Our objective is complete freedom, justice and equality by any means necessary." —Malcolm X

"I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land." —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end.

When famous political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville toured the new United States of America, he was impressed by the representative government set up by the Founders. At the same time, he ominously predicted, "If there ever are great revolutions there, they will be caused by the presence of the blacks upon American soil. That is to say, it will not be the equality of social conditions but rather their inequality which may give rise thereto."

Today every American is taught about watershed moments in the history of minorities' struggles for civil rights over the course of American history: the Civil War, Brown v. Board of Education, Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
