Belle, The Last Mule at Gee's Bend: A Civil Rights Story
by Calvin Alexander Ramsey
Age: 1st-3rd grade
Although the title doesn't indicate it, this story, based on real events, describes the powerful symbol of the mule in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life and Belle the mule's part in the black American's right to vote in the 60s. Although the supplementary material was not strong (no sources, repeated what was said in the fictionalized tale), this book discusses another, more unique part of the Civil Rights Movement, perhaps interesting to students that have already studied it in depth.
