This bundle combines our John Woolman and Sojourner Truth unit with our Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. unit and also ncludes a BONUS U.S. Cultural Immersion Bundle. This bundle features stories of FOUR American Peace Heroes who dared to defy the racist system of their day while working to build a more just society.
