In the past, Black and Asian people were often treated unfairly because of the colour of their skin. This is the story of a group of brave people who fought against the system of injustice in Bristol, UK, and how, like Martin Luther King Jnr, they had a dream of equality which they fought hard to achieve.


Ruby/Band 14 books give increasing opportunities for children to develop their skills of inference and deduction.
