Free to learn : how Alfredo Lopez fought for the right to go to school Cover Image Book

Free to learn : how Alfredo Lopez fought for the right to go to school / Cynthia Levinson ; illustrated by Mirelle Ortega.

Levinson, Cynthia, (author.). Ortega, Mirelle, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Every child in the United States has the right to a free education. But people didn't always agree on that. Alfredo Lopez had so many questions before starting second grade! Would his friends be in his class? Would his teacher speak Spanish? But then his parents told him that he had to stay home--and Alfredo's questions changed. His friends could go to school, so what made him different? How would he learn English? And why did he and his family have to go to the courthouse? Alfredo was one of the students involved in Plyler v. Doe, a landmark Supreme Court case. This book tells the story of Alfredo and his family, who fought so all of us would be free to learn."-- Dust jacket flap.
