Let the Children March by Monica Clark-Robinson; illustrated by Frank Morrison.

The author chose to make this book a fictional story about an imagined  girl and her brother, but the story is true. In May 1963, families met with Dr. Marin Luther King to plan a march in a church in Birmingham, Alabama. The parents worried about losing their jobs if they marched, so thousands of children and teenagers volunteered to march for their civil rights. What were some of the things that the marchers protested against? What were some of the ways the police tried to stop the marches? Available online on Hoopla.
