Description: Two parents decide to return with their three daughters to the Deep South during the time of the Freedom Riders, the early 1960s, returning to Georgia where Jim Crow laws exist. The family tests these laws by going to a Holiday Inn restaurant where they are refused entry. Despite the little girl's cries and her mother's pleas, the restaurant staff turns them away. (48 pgs) Ages 9-12

Ashay says, “The author Paula Shelton is the daughter of Andrew Young, who was one of Martin Luther King’s closest associates.  She experienced first hand the sting of racism and discrimination and her family’s courageous steps at the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement.  Must have for the library and classroom.”
