This is a non fiction book about the civil rights movement. It covers the events and people leading up to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It talks about people such as Martin Luther King Junior, E.D. Nixon, Rosa Parks, and many other less famous but important individuals. It covers events during this time and explains the political events and thoughts going on during this time in a way that children would be able to understand.
