Follow Chester!: A College Football Team Fights Racism and Makes History
by Gloria Respress-Churchwell (Author) and Laura Freeman (Illustrator)
Booktalk: In 1947, no African American player can play at a southern school; in return, the opposing team benches a player of “equal talent.” This historical fiction picture book frames a turbulent time in the civil rights era with the clever use of a football play to show race relations and teamwork. Inspired by a true story.
