Truth. Fake News. The First Amendment. How did it all start?
In a courtroom in New York 41 years BEFORE the Declaration of Independence and 56 years BEFORE the Bill of Rights became law…
When John Peter Zenger printed the New York Journal in 1734, he joined a special group of Americans – journalists who were patriots and partners in the battle for freedom for the Colonies. Printers joined forces with lawyers who understood the power of the written word.
In this middle grade graphic novel, Zenger refuses to bow to British authority despite being imprisoned for eight months. He continues to publish his newspaper thanks to his wife, Anna Zenger, who became the first woman printer and publisher in the colonies.
