To Establish Justice: Citizenship and the Constitution

Rating:
Summary: A title essential for any middle school collection
Review:
The pairing of Newbery Honor winning author McKissack with attorney Arlene Zarembka lends to a title essential for any middle school collection concerned with representing the history and operations of the American justice system: To Establish Justice examines the role the Supreme Court has played in civil rights issues. Chapters use easily understood examples and language to examine civil rights struggles, from the efforts of Native Americans to reclaim native lands to women's efforts to vote. To Establish Justice would be a fine guide in any year; but in an election year it holds particular relevance.
