Illustrated by Raul Colon
Paula Young Shelton tells her memories of her family's experiences and participation in the Civil Rights Movement. Reading this story gave me a child's perspective on Jim Crow laws in restaurants, freedom rides, and the march from Selma to Montgomery.
Paula's parents were heroic in their patience and perseverance, and Paula tells of conversations with Uncle Martin (Martin Luther King, Jr!).
