In this inspiring collection of true stories, thirty
African-Americans who were children or teenagers in the 1950s and
1960s talk about what it was like for them to fight segregation in
the South-to sit in an all-white restaurant and demand to be served,
to refuse to give up a seat at the front of the bus, to be among the
first to integrate the public schools, and to face violence, arrest,
and even death for the cause of freedom.
