Since the earliest days of slavery, African Americans have called on their religious faith in the struggle against oppression. The Beatitudesfrom Jesus' Sermon on the Mountform the backdrop for Weatherford's powerful free-verse poem that traces the journey from slavery to civil rights.
With the text of the biblical Beatitudes as an undercurrent, the story of the civil rights movement is told in lyrical text and stirring illustrations.
