Robert Churchwell: Writing News, Making History is about the inspirational life of southern journalism pioneer Robert Churchwell.
Churchwell's story is told through the eyes of a fourth grader named Savannah who loses her dad and moves to a new city where she attends a school that she knows nothing about. Savannah feels she has the worst life on the planet.
Robert Churchwell’s triumphant true story guides her back on track by: journeying through the Separate but Equal era, trash diving for bones to survive the Great Depression, along with documenting the important contributions of opera singer Marian Anderson, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and famed boxer Muhammad Ali.
Connecting dots between Robert Churchwell as a journalism trailblazer and as The Jackie Robinson of Journalism, this book is a rich story that inspires all!
