Description:

In a new children’s book, “Biddy Mason Speaks Up,” Arisa White and Laura Watkins weave poetry and prose with historical facts to tell the story of Bridget “Biddy” Mason–a woman born into slavery in the early 1800s who later bought her freedom and became a prominent landowner, community builder and healer in Los Angeles. “Biddy Mason Speaks Up” is the second in HeyDay Books’s Fight for Justice series, which introduces young people to historical figures who fought for social change. We’ll talk to the authors about their work and get tips for discussing topics like slavery and rape with kids.
