This book tells Ella's story from the time she was a young child, first learning about music through her Uncle Flood playing harmonica, to her encounters with racial discrimination, and finally her involvement with the folk music movement and her discovery that music could be a powerful tool to teach children and bridge cultures, leading her to perform and work with children on all seven continents (including Antarctica!)"--]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1477185</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1477185</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Todd, Traci N.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1477185057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Story of Ella Jenkins : the First Lady of Children&apos;s Music</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781452170640/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Outspoken]]></title><description><![CDATA[A biography of American entertainer and political activist Paul Robeson.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1469666</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1469666</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weatherford, Carole Boston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1469666057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Paul Robeson, Ahead of His Time: A One-man Show</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781536212976/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selena Gomez]]></title><description><![CDATA[Read about Selena Gomez, who is among the most groundbreaking, iconic Hispanic and Latinx heroes who have shaped our culture and the world in Hispanic Star: Selena Gomez, from Claudia Romo Edelman's gripping Hispanic Star biography series for young readers.

When faced with the decision to remain silent or be ostracized, Paul Robeson chose to sing, shout, and speak out. Sing and Shout: The Mighty Voice of Paul Robeson explores how Robeson's love of African American spirituals and deep empathy towards the suffering of others drove his long, fervent mission as a civil rights activist and his career as an artist. Although he was also an actor, singing was Robeson's defining talent and where he could best express himself. After exploring socialism, Robeson was targeted by the U.S. government for speaking out about discrimination against African Americans and for his political views. He was labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War and found himself stripped of his U.S. passport. But Robeson never gave in and continued to perform and speak out. The book is based on Rubin's extensive research, including fieldwork in Harlem, NY, in Princeton and Somerville, NJ, and at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ."--]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1429382</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1429382</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rubin, Susan Goldman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1429382057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Mighty Voice of Paul Robeson</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781629798578/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[R-E-S-P-E-C-T]]></title><description><![CDATA["Aretha Franklin was born to sing.

Based on the true story of Paul Robeson's visit to the front lines of the Spanish Civil War, comes this recollection of his bravery and activism by his granddaughter, Susan Robeson, with her debut book. When Susan was a child her father and grandfather told her family stories over and over. Grandpa Paul was a great man, a singer with a deep and rumbling voice, a man of peace and principle who worried about the safety of the children and families living in countries at war. His songs were always full of emotion, and evoking the African-American spirituals of his own father's childhood, he was able to communicate even with people who didn't speak the same language. Though it was dangerous, Robeson went to Spain and traveled to the front lines of the war (in a Buick!). There, he asked the soldiers to set up speakers facing the fighters on both sides of the battlefield. And then he sang....
