Rosetta, Rosetta, Sit By Me!

Rosetta, Rosetta, Sit By Me!

Frederick Douglassâ€™s daughter tells her own story of segregation and triumph.
"Rosetta, Rosetta, Sit by me!" Thatâ€™s what the white girls at Miss Tracyâ€™s Female Seminary yell when Rosetta, Frederick Douglassâ€™s nine-year-old daughter, shows up on the first day of school. But things donâ€™t turn out the way she expects. Not only does she have to study in a classroom all by herself, but sheâ€™s also kept apart at recess. Told in Rosettaâ€™s voice, and illustrated throughout, this remarkable chapter book includes a biographical endnote; a time line; reproductions of a letter from Rosetta to her father and Frederick Douglassâ€™s newspaper, the North Star; and source notes.
