Freedom Walkers: The Story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott
by Russell Freedman
Imagine a world where everything you do - from where you sit to what you eat to where you go to school - is determined by the color of your skin. This is the way things used to be in America, and almost noone questioned it. Almost. This is the story of a people who came together to fight injustice. It starts with a woman on a bus, but not the one you think. Rosa Parks was not the first black woman to be arrested for not giving up her seat on a bus, but the people of Montgomery Alabama were determined that she would be the last. This book was easy to read, full of information, and ultimately inspiring.
