  • Shoes for Everyone: A Story about Jan Matzeliger

    Barbara Mitchell, Hetty Mitchell

    Paperback (LernerClassroom, Aug. 1, 1986)
    Jan Matzeliger felt anything but welcome in Philadelphia in 1873. As well as being a foreigner, Jan was half African American, which meant that most doors were closed to him. Although the Civil War had been over for nearly ten years, inequality for African Americans still persisted in its aftermath. However, Jan refused to let prejudice keep him from achieving his dream of making a shoe-lasting machine to replace the tedious, time-consuming hand sewing that held up shoe manufacturing processes in his day.

  • Raggin': A Story about Scott Joplin

    Barbara Mitchell, Hetty Mitchell

    Paperback (LernerClassroom, Jan. 1, 2003)
    Scott Joplin came from a music-making family in Texarkana, Texas. As a small boy, he loved the lively, rhythmic African melodies and the soft, touching spirituals that he heard his father sing.

Barbara Mitchell's Raggin' is the story of this talented composer/musician who overcame prejudice and hardship to create such favorites as "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer"--music that still makes people tap their toes.
