Hey there, history fans and trivia junkies! Ever wondered who stood up before Rosa Parks or turned a mother's grief into a national wake-up call? *Unsung Heroes of the Civil Rights Era* by Nora Nugget is your ticket to a thrilling journey through the lesser-known stories of the civil rights movement. Meet Claudette Colvin, the teen who sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Mamie Till-Mobley, who bared her son's tragedy to ignite a revolution, and Bob Moses, the math teacher who outsmarted the Klan to register voters. From secret literacy schools to fiery Freedom Rides, these 45 bite-sized chapters are packed with jaw-dropping facts, witty asides, and trivia questions that'll make you the star of any history quiz night. Dive into the courage of Ruby Bridges, a six-year-old who faced mobs to desegregate a school, or Gloria Richardson, who waved off handshakes to demand real change. Uncover wild tales like the Deacons for Defense, armed guardians of nonviolent marchers, and the Harlem Nine, mothers who fought Northern segregation. With a lively, conversational tone, this book brings history to life, blending well-known moments with obscure gems—like the 1898 Wilmington coup or the 1921 Tulsa massacre's survivors. Perfect for casual readers, trivia enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a good story, it wraps up with a "Test Your Hero Knowledge" quiz to challenge your memory. Grab *Unsung Heroes of the Civil Rights Era* and celebrate the everyday people who changed the world—one bold step, song, or stand at a time!
