Description: Courage in The People's House by Joe Neguse Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Featuring the remarkable stories of nine US Representatives who helped shape America, Courage in The Peoples House is a "reminder of how courage can make a difference, and how, especially in the darkest of times, the lessons of history are most needed" (Booklist).In this "well-written addition to the history of Congress" (Kirkus Reviews), Courage in The Peoples House tells the "accessible and well-researched" (Booklist) stories of nine individuals who served in the US House of Representatives—the "Peoples House"—during a span of over one hundred years, from the 1870s to the 1990s. From the first African American to serve in the House to immigrants elected at the dawn of the 20th century, all were trailblazers who made significant contributions to the country. The book provides an inspiring story of America through profiles of each of them, representatives of all political stripes who overcame the odds and demonstrated the courage to challenge powerful interests, and at times, their own political allies.

Wilson, Pennsylvania -Adolph Sabath, Illinois -Oscar Stanton De Priest, Illinois -Margaret Chase Smith, Maine -Henry B. Gonzalez, Texas -Shirley Chisholm, New York -Barbara Jordan, Texas In this "brisk and spirited debut" (Publishers Weekly), Representative Joe Neguse, the first African American elected to Congress from Colorado, shares how these nine ordinary Americans served nobly despite the barriers before them and did extraordinary things in service to their constituents, the Constitution, and the country.
