Changemaker: W. Harry Davis

This book is the adaptation of Davis's autobiography Overcoming for a younger audience. In it, Davis describes his youth in North Minneapolis as well as his work as a community leader and civil rights advocate as an adult. It is designed for classroom use with activities and journaling opportunities included at the end of each chapter. The book is unique because it gives an individual perspective on the history of civil rights in Minnesota, and is written with a young audience in mind.
