"Dylan Waugh’s educational reader, Thaddeus Stevens: Forgotten Champion of Racial Equality, is a great look at a man who is one of America's most influential, yet frequently overlooked, figures. I admit that going in, I didn't know who Stevens was. Waugh offers readers the real-life story of Stevens's journey from a poor, bullied child to a fierce advocate for racial equality and social justice. The writing is simple, clear, accessible, and enriched with a diverse range of visual inclusions, such as photos, drawings, newspaper clippings, and archival materials, all of which help to put it into historical context. 

Waugh also throws in some wonderfully thoughtful questions throughout the text, inviting and prompting readers to look at Stevens’ actions and their broader implications, making the book more than just a biography. This combination of prose, interactive elements, and visuals makes Thaddeus Stevens a fantastic primer for those looking to explore the legacy of this pivotal figure in American history."
