The story of Belle, a simple mule in Gee's Bend, Alabama, and the role she played in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's. Based on real events, this is the story of how African Americans in an impoverished community, inspired by a visit from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., defied local authorities and registered to vote, many traveling by mule-drawn wagon. Written by Calvin Alexander Ramsey and Bettye Stroud. Illustrated by John Holyfield.
