Summary
Mention the civil rights era in Alabama and most people recall images of terrible violence. But for the citizens of Hunstville, creativity, courage, and cooperation were the keys to working together to integrate their city and schools in peace. This engaging celebration of a lesser-known chapter in American and African-American history shows how racial discrimination, bullying, and unfairness can be faced successfully with perseverance and ingenuity. -- From amazon.com.
