This book contains the stories of the young people who lead the integration movements throughout the South during the Civil Rights Movement. It opens with a quote from Claudette Colvin, who is the dominant voice of her own book, Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice. The involvement of young people during the Civil Rights Movement is also known as the Children's Movement. These young people stood up during a time when their lives were threatened on a daily basis; when it was often unpopular to speak up for one's self; and during a time of great civil unrest and civil disobedience to demand their place at America's table.
