Love Is Loud: How Diane Nash Led the Civil Rights Movement (HC)

Meet Diane Nash, a civil rights leader who worked alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis. Diane grew up in the southside of Chicago in the 1940s. As a university student, she visited the Tennessee State Fair in 1959. Shocked to see a bathroom sign that read For Colored Women, Diane learned that segregation in the South went beyond schools—it was part of daily life. She decided to fight back, not with anger or violence, but with strong words of truth and action.
