Written by Paula Young Shelton, first grade teacher and daughter of Andrew Young (civil rights leader, former U.N. Ambassador), Child of the Civil Rights Movement the book takes an especially personal view of the civil rights movement – a view that even young elementary students will relate to and understand. The free verse poetry tells the story of the Young family’s move to Georgia to join in the fight for civil rights. Students will identify with the child’s point of view – her limited yet personal understanding of what was happening in the world around her. As any teacher or parent knows, children have an innate sense when things are fair and when they are definitely not...
