Overview
Sam Cooke's legendary and beloved civil rights anthem is brought to life for the first time with stunning illustrations by Nikkolas Smith.
*"Potent and deeply moving." Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
*"While honestly reflecting a difficult past, this title is full of hope and the promise of a future where change will come; an essential title for all libraries." School Library Journal, Starred Review
I was born by the river in a little tent.
Oh, and just like the river, I've been a-runnin' ever since.
It's been a long, a long time coming,
but I know a change gonna come. Oh yes, it will.
The immortal lyrics of Sam Cooke's inspiring civil rights anthem are among the most powerful in music history. Written as an ode to the struggles and joy of Black Americans living under the oppression of Jim Crow, "A Change Is Gonna Come" became a rallying cry for justice and equality when it was shared in 1964. Now, more than sixty years later, the fight for freedom continues, and these sweeping lyrics remain as important and soul stirring as ever.
Alongside Sam Cooke's inspiring words, Nikkolas Smith's breathtaking art guides young readers through pivotal moments in American history. The award-winning illustrator of The 1619 Project: Born on the Water, powerfully references civil rights milestones and Black freedom fighters, empowering all of us to continue the mission of change.
Includes a QR code link to Sam Cooke's iconic recording.
