  The killing of Emmett Till is widely remembered today as one of the most famous examples of lynchings in America. African American children in 1955 personally felt the terror of his murder. From the violent Woolworth's lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, working to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world. 
   
   
   
  In the Name of Emmett Till: How the Children of the Mississippi Freedom Struggle Tore Down Yesterday and Showed Us Tomorrow weaves together the riveting tales of those young women and men of Mississippi, figures like Brenda Travis, the Ladner sisters, and Sam Block who risked their lives to face down vicious Jim Crow segregation. Listeners also discover the adults who guided the young people, elders including Medgar Evers, Robert Moses, and Fannie Lou Hamer. 
   
   
   
  This inspiring new book of history for young adults from award-winning author Robert H. Mayer is an unflinching portrayal of life in the segregated South and the bravery of young people who fought that system. As the United States still reckons with racism and inequality, the activists working In the Name of Emmett Till can serve as models of activism for young people today.

  A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City. 
  Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason—water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn’t slowed down since. 
  Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid extensive money-laundering operations.  
  Now a place for both families and high rollers, Las Vegas has no mercy when it comes to re-invention. In Sin City, the old constantly makes way for the new—and there’s always something new on the horizon. 
  This captivating guide tells the story of Las Vegas from prehistory to the empire building of developers. In these pages, you’ll read about local legends and gain insight into the heart of a city created for practical reasons but built on outrageous whimsy and the guts to carve its own way to greatness. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The prehistory of a valley once filled with marshy land and flowing rivers.The role pioneers, including Mormon missionaries, played in the development of the town.The adventures and influence of founding citizens like Charles “Pop” Squires and Helen J. Stewart.And so much more!
