Mama Africa, as they called her, raised her voice to help combat these injustices at jazz clubs in Johannesburg; in exile, at a rally beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; and before the United Nations.Set defiantly in the present tense, this biography offers readers an intimate view of Makebas fight for equality. Kathryn Erskines call-and-response style text and Charly Palmers bold illustrations come together in a raw, riveting duet of protest song and praise poem. A testament to how a single voice helped to shake up the world-and can continue to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67597840875808,"sku":"USED0374303010","price":15.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91tfzSZsegL_d167ae32-3741-4f4c-9f00-ba8ce35f5279.jpg?v=1790709395","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mama-africa-how-miriam-makeba-spread-hope-with-her-song-0374303010-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
