Nine black teenagers in Little Rock, Arkansas, headed out to a formerly white high school, despite warnings that blood will run in the streets. James Lawson trained activists not to fight back with fists or words, no matter how many billy clubs rained down on them. Through ten turbulent years, black southerners filled jails and public places with the songs and strength passed down from their ancestors. This final book in a trilogy about the African-American experience is a tribute to the crusaders for equality and peace in America, a crusade that continues to this day. Back matter includes important dates, an artist's note, source notes, a bibliography, sources for further information, and an index.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Doreen Rappaport</b> is the author of numerous books for young readers, including <i>Martin's Big Words: the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</i>, illustrated by Bryan Collier, and The School is Not White!
