Jane Addams: Champion of Democracy Tekijä: Dennis Brindell Fradin

This one educates about the Fugitive Slave Act, while showing the power of coming together with others to stand up for what's right.
From Amazon description:
The acclaimed civil rights leader Ida B. Wells (1862-1931) is brought vividly to life in this accessible and well-researched biography.

Her outspokenness put her in grave danger many times over, but she would not be silenced, and today she is credited with ending lynching in the United States.
