Tatiana J. L. Date : 7/7/10 Homeroom Teacher - 6th grade was Ms. Roy Name of the Book: The Forbidden Schoolhouse Author: Suzanne Jurmain

This book is about:

A school teacher who fights for the equal rights that black children should have. She fought for them to have the same education as white children.

I especially liked:

The teacher spent many years getting terrorized by the town people for her beliefs but that didn't matter to her. The teacher was 75 years old and she received a letter from the town apologizing and giving her $ 400 each year to help her live the remainder of her life.

My personal recommendation for this book:

The book is based on a true story from our backyard town - Canterbury.
